It's an entertaining enough diversion if you're not expecting much.
-
It's worth keeping an eye on the show, in case it finds somewhere to go that's both intricate and unusual.
-
A caper that's as clever and grandiose as any TV series has presented in a long time. And fun.
-
An hour of snide cleverness--especially one in which you can predict all the plot twists--gets tired fast. [24 Mar 2006, p.59]
-
It may be that in the long run, "Heist" proves to be something you can admire simply for its pure entertainment value. But right now, it's a show that looks good on the surface but is empty at the core.
-
In between the sardonic wisecracks and tangled storytelling, it's easy to lose interest.
-
Although we are meant to regard its dishonest protagonists as the epitome of contemporary cool, they come off as self-satisfied and pretentious.
-
[The pilot] works a little too hard at establishing a fun-loving, "Swingers""Swingers"-type tone, though at least that represents something of an alternative to "CSI: NY" and ABC's new procedural "The Evidence."
-
The flippant tone grows tiresome and clashes with harrowing bursts of violence.
