Watched these over the past few nights.
Would list them in that order as to quality.
Will recommend Spy Games. Good stuff here.
The heist was decent, a little implausible, and the writing, although I'm sure David Mamet was
trying to re-create the clipped tongue of 40's crime movies, was a little sparse.
Bandits, which btw I went to 3 different video stores to rent, and I had the highest hopes for ranks nearly unwatchable.
I dig Billybob, Bruce, and Cate Blanchett,
problem was, the constant trying to be cute of the director.
If he'd had cut the crap with the "interviews" and just let the film go, I'd have rated it much higher.

Spy games was GREAT. Awesome cinematography and editing. Original plot (at least as far as I can remember) and very, very entertaining the entire time. Can't wait to buy the DVD and watch it again.
Heist...entertaining, but gimme a break. If anyone was that thorough in predicting human emotion, reaction and the like, they wouldn't be a crook. They'd be playing the stock market and raking in the dough. Worth a watch, nonetheless. -
Gad, HEIST was GREAT, man! I love that ****! I love actors ACTING, and Mamet ROCKS!
They don't make movies like that anymore!
