Review: The Last Heist Steals Your Time, and You Won’t Get it Back.

Sometimes bad movies can be so terrible they become entertaining in their ridiculousness. The Last Heist on the other hand, has few redeeming features, despite the fact that it should be at least a little entertaining. Bank robbers being hunted by a serial killer, it’s different and by all rights it shouldn’t be as bad as it is.
I’m going to keep this short because I care about as much as everyone involved with this movie. The acting is appalling, the action, if you can call it that, is dull, the writing is atrocious and the plot is a series of contrived conveniences that completely rely on the idiocy of everyone involved.
It checks all the heist boxes. Hostages, “badass” detective, stupid rookie cops and a simple plan that inevitably fails. It checks all the slasher boxes. Crazy killer, overly violent, mindless fodder and an antagonist who’s about as thinly written as a piece of paper.
It’s stupidly predictable, poorly shot and is either under or over acted, dependent on what’s happening. It’s rubbish and no one should watch it. There is two redeeming factors, it’s less than one and a half hours so at least it doesn’t drag on, though it certainly feels longer and the serial killer takes his role to a whole new level. It’s the worst movie of 2016 and one of the worst I’ve ever seen.
