I made a joke on twitter that's too elaborate to explain here, so anyway here's my best attempt at imitating what a panel from an Alex Toth adaptation of American Buffalo for Dell Comics might look like. Digital drawing done in Clip Studio, based on a Michael Brosilow photo of Richard Cotovsky & Rudy Galvan in the Mary-Arrchie Theatre Company production of American Buffalo. . . . #comicbookart #davidmamet #alextoth #dellcomics #lineart #makecomics #comicbookart #losingmymindinlockdown #nichecontent #extremelynichecontent https://www.instagram.com/p/CJm-OGHhuON/?igshid=r3etebotzqwg

Heist (2001)

Heist is well made. It contains exciting scenes. Too bad the plot is so complicated it becomes utterly preposterous. By the end of the film, there had been so many twists I stopped being shocked and started laughing.

Joe (Gene Hackman) is a professional thief. He is married to Fran (Rebecca Pidgeon) who is also a member of his thieves. When they, Blane (Delroy Lindo), and Pinky (Ricky Jay) are forced by Mickey (Danny DeVito) to take on an elaborate plan to steal gold ingots from a cargo plane headed to Switzerland, it begins a series of carefully laid plans, betrayals, lies, and manipulations.

The characters are well written. Joe is a real person. He steals for a living but he’s not a sociopath willing to do anything for money. He’s a professional who happens to be good at stealing jewels, art, gold, whatever. The dialogue by writer/director David Mamet is excellent, particularly in the scenes where Joe's team argues. There are many snappy lines throughout that make "Heist" fun to listen to.

The first problem concerns the titular heist. It's so complex no one would ever invest in it. If I’m taking the bus to get to work, there are already a whole lot of things that can go wrong, and often do. I could sleep in, the bus could arrive early, could arrive late, I could forget my bus fare, I could miss my stop. Then there's the weather or outrageous developments like an alien invasion who could derail the whole thing. Taking the bus is easy. In order for the team's caper to succeed, you'd need a member with psychic powers, the ability to read minds, AND look into the future. The only place it could work... is in a movie.

Let me describe what the plan is. You tell me its chances of success. The plan is to steal the gold from a plane heading out of the U.S. First, they extensively research the airport staff to find a weakness in the system. They discover that the head of security is a woman with a severe drinking problem. Weeks before the theft, Fran goes into a bar the woman frequents and makes a scene so that she is noticed. While chatting with some of the bar patrons, she whispers to them that Joe, who has just entered in disguise, is an officer who looks for people who drink on the job and gets them fired. This is their entry into the airport, as Joe “busts” the woman on the day of the theft and convinces her to look away while his team come in. From there, they plan to stop the plane by setting explosives within the airport's fence and destroying a utility shed as the plane is about to leave. They then pose as airport security and pretend to sweep the aircraft for bombs, stealing the gold in the process. From there, of course, we follow heist movie rules and things do not go according to plan.

Heist is like a marathon of Tales from the Crypt episodes. I love Tales from the Crypt. It’s a horror-comedy anthology TV series that tells gory and twisted stories and usually, they end with a twist. That bad guy that murdered his associate to steal the girlfriend? He ends up being killed by the woman. The woman who kills her husband discovers that the only person who had the key to the safe is now dead. For the most part, it’s fun. Unfortunately, the episodes become predictable if you watch too many in a row. You crack the formula and then the only surprises come when there ISN'T a twist. The same problem applies to Heist. When it comes to the conclusion, it’s one big shocking reveal after another. I counted no less than 5 twists throughout and by the time the third one arrived, I was laughing at how ludicrous it had all gotten. It's a near miss. (On Dvd, April 9, 2015)

"Nel cortile della scuola eravamo tutti avvocati. Ci occupavamo di proprietà e di onore, e della corretta applicazione del potere magico delle parole. Quando raccontavamo o facevamo riassunti di faccende serie, non dicevamo mai che i nostri compagni avevano «detto» delle cose, ma che avevano «fatto» delle cose; era così che noi ragazzini di dieci-dodici anni riconoscevamo che ogni dichiarazione è un’azione. (Lui fa: «Tornatene dalla tua parte della riga, o sei fuori» e io gli faccio: «Io ci sono dalla mia parte della riga, perché va dalla panca alla fontana»)". - David Mamet . . .
