C	Emanuel Levy	Structured as a trick within a trick within a trick, Mamet's latest contribution to film noir is a mildly entertaining crimer that nonetheless exposes his strenuous efforts to outsmart the audience. Full Review \| Comment \| Dec., 05 2006 04:53 PM	EmanuelLevy.Com

3/5	Pablo Villaca	Como em todo roteiro escrito por Mamet, os di�logos s�o excelentes e a trama � engenhosa � mas desta vez o excesso de reviravoltas acaba comprometendo o resultado final. Comment \| Dec., 09 2003 10:51 AM	Cinema em Cena

B	Philip Martin	Heist is better than The Score, not because it is more surprising or the actorly turns by the principals better realized, but simply because it is better written and the direction is more fluid. Full Review \| Comment \| Oct., 30 2002 11:50 AM	Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
