“It was always me and you against the world.”

If you expect a good film after you have noticed who plays the leading roles, then I can already warn you. This is a sadly bad movie. Adrien Brody, Oscar winner for his brilliant performance in “The Pianist”, and Christensen, who is undeniably a virtuoso at wielding a lightsaber but exhibits a presence easily surpassed by, say, Chewbacca, are no guarantee of an enjoyable one. to make a movie. The movie poster on its own is already an indication that it would be a faded B-movie. And however much the two gentlemen are tattooed and use a vocabulary that makes an average rascal pale, they still come across as two soft eggs.

Well... it just isn't. What immediately bothers me is that the main characters are brothers, but they don't look alike at all. Really Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson looked even more like brothers in Money Train. Actually, the film should have lasted an hour longer, because somewhere he has to be caught and that manhunt is just fun. He couldn't just have walked to his freedom. The ambulance brother already indicated that he was not a hostage. If Jordana Brewster doesn't answer, he'll report it somewhere else anyway. He is also related to the perpetrator. The police will get to him soon. He's black and blue, you can't hide that for 4 weeks. And his blood is at the crime scene of that headbutt. And Jordana Brewster, surely they'll be questioning why she ran away crying while the city is in turmoil. A little research has added up one plus one, right?

The biggest question mark with 'American Heist' is how a character actor like Adrien Brody ends up in a Hayden Christensen B-movie. An answer is not given. Instead, 'American Heist' tries to make a statement about clichés and nonsense. Because the robbery from the title may have been neatly shot, it is absolutely nothing. Excitement and originality are missing. Tape work and a lot of illogical aspects, on the other hand, drag the film to a sad end.
