This is a very well produced film. It is not a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster, however you would not know that by the superior production quality. It kept my interest throughout the 80 minute duration. Do not expect the world and you will not be disappointed, it is well done and it is the first Feature Film by Director Lee Chambers. Not every story needs a billion dollars in special effects and 2.5 hours to be told. This is Lee's story and his film adaptation of it and he has done an amazing job bringing his dream to the big screen on a small budget. You will not find a better film for the budget. Being from Thunder Bay where a lot of the movie was filmed was great but it wasn't the make or break for me, this film will be enjoyable to anyone. Give it a go and decide for yourself, film is art after all and who am to pass judgement on others creative expression.
Terrible acting, the script is horrible. I was literally laughing at the two bank robbers burying the money because of the poor writing. Only reason I gave it two stars was for the nice cinematography.

The Pineville heist Cineplex Silver City April 25,2016
Wake up Thunder Bay! You have a legitimate Hollywood film maker in your midst. The Pineville heist (www. Pinevilleheist.com) is a film by Lee Chambers, a teacher at your very own Confederation College. I first heard about the movie because my niece Leah Rantala, has a small part in it. I must admit at first I thought "oh cute a college film she's got a little part". When I found out there was a screening in Hollywood I thought it odd. I was married for 10 years to a "film producer", so I do understand a little bit how this process works. I managed to get passes and I brought my two kids to the screening. We were blown away. After 20 plus years living in the lush green foliage of WA state, I love living in Southern California. The dry climate of fruits,nuts and flakes....and sunshine.
Yet, I AM from Thunder Bay, Ontario. I regularly enjoy dissing on the good old Lakehead and making fun of it, especially the cold weather, and it's location so far from everything "important".... but always with a light heart.
Truthfully it was a great place to grow up and I have been proud of many things from my home town, like more NHL players per capita than any other city, ski jumpers, skiing mogul champs, even the band leader of a ultra famous nighttime talk show.
I NEVER imagined it would include FILM MAKING! Until now. This movie is as good as, if not better than anything I have seen made or funded by Hollywood and these Califophony-ia studios!
This is the REAL DEAL!!! Lee Chambers truly is a big league hitter yet gone unnoticed whose time has come! The Pineville Heist is a great movie and when you get the chance, see it! Butts in seats and dollars, how you spend them, speak volumes to these studios and their distributors!! Go see this movie in Thunder Bay.

The acting in this movie is atrocious, particularly the teenage lead. It sounded like he had marbles in his mouth the whole time.
The story was boring and predictable.
The visuals and music were very good.
The Pineville Heist, Started off with great vistas and high possibilities, decent story line, but is basically a long winded College style production. The lighting was good. The sound was good. The acting was mediocre. Had a story line that was dragged out Way too long with the chase scene in the high school. An honest grade would be a high B to a low A. I have seen worse. But my $28 dollar admission fee for my wife and I was $20 too much. There are way too many good movies to see, than to spend your time seeing this one. The best acting was from the deputy sheriff and he was knocked out for half the movie. I did like the acting from the principal Theo.
