Rating: 2/5 --
American Heist has straight-to-video written all over it. Once there, I recommend you skip directly to the last act if you decide to watch it at all.

Toronto Sun
Slick but derivative and forgettable on all levels.

Variety
A run-of-the-mill crime drama that toes the risibility line on several occasions, even if it's better made than your typical straight-to-video movie.

Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 1/4 --
The film offers a veritable smorgasbord of dated, only-in-the-movies clichés about the debt-ridden working class.

Rating: 1/5 --
Christensen makes a decent Everyman hero and even shows some warmth in his scenes with Jordana Brewster, but their subplot doesn't amount to anything at all. Neither does the movie.

Rating: 5/10 --
The movie suffers from underdeveloped characters, a lack of originality and an unnecessary social commentary. Half good, half bad.

What I Watched Tonight
Product Description:
A New Orleans mechanic's struggle to turn his back on crime is compromised by the unexpected return of his ex-con brother, who quickly gets him involved in a dangerous heist. James and Frankie were just teenagers when Frankie was convicted for shooting a cop, and sent to prison. Ten years later, James (Hayden Christensen) has finally put his life back in order. He's seeking the financing to open his own garage when he starts to rekindle a romance with his ex-flame Emily (Jordana Brewster). Their future together is looking bright until Frankie (Adrien Brody) reappears without warning, entangling his brother in a dangerous bank-robbery plot hatched by Sugar (Akon) and Ray (Tory Kittles), two enterprising criminals who make it clear that Frankie and Emily will suffer if James doesn't go along with their plans. Later, with the bank vault open and everything going as planned, an unexpected complication puts James' devotion to his troubled brother to the ultimate test.
