Boring, predictable and utterly forgettable, "American Heist" is a complete waste of time. I watched this because my wife has a thing for Adrien Brody. I think he's a fine actor, but clearly this was done just for a paycheck. It's hard to make a bland bank robbery, but it was done successfully here. Just putting known actors in a film does not a good film make, an intelligent well-written script helps and this was just thrown together without much thought.

Save your money and read a good novel or take a walk or stare into space! There are so many poor films out there. When the industry complains about loss of its audience, it should consider the product we are asked to rent/purchase.

It's hard to make such a bad movie about a colorful period in American history, but they did just that. I cannot recommend any part of this film as worthwhile, from the poor acting, very flat performances to the truly bad musical score, this film is bad all around. It does not follow the historical events accurately besides the fact that Al Capone and Eliot Ness, etc. did exist.

The characters are cartoon like, as is the action - just watch the scene with the baby carriage going down the stairs with guns firing all around it.

How this received such a high rating is beyond me! The film actually made me angry because it was so ridiculous. Just think of this material in the hands of someone like Scorsese.

No matter how much talent is in front of the camera, if the writing is not up to par there's trouble ahead. That about sums up "The Other Woman", which is a mess of a film and makes the almost two hours feel like at least ten hours.

It is just not funny and is filled with implausible situations that try your patience. Of course, if those situations resulting in humor and "ha ha" funny, you just go with it, but there's nothing worse than a unfunny "funny" picture. Leslie Mann is a talented actress but is wasted here along with Cameron Diaz. I kept waiting for those funny moments I read about in other reviews. Well the film ended and I'm still waiting!
