He looks the clever yet disheveled type and the plot easily sets him as the desperate good guy. Jeffrey Dean Morgan from Losers is a fitting choice for the main protagonist. It's not an elaborate plan, in fact this might just be one of the shortest operations on heist movie.
Faced with desperation he meets up with Cox (Dave Batista) who has a plan of stealing from their own casino boss Pope (Robert De Niro). This is the story of Vaughn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who is in need of cash for his sick daughter. The relatively simple premise also works like slot machine, which the audience can just pull and roll with the result without overly complex build-up. Its biggest assets are the actors who perform particularly well to make their characters that much more approachable.
It's neither innovative as action movie nor does it have flamboyant group of thieves pulling off intricate steal. The plainly titled Heist is just that, a heist movie with cop-and-robber chase added to the mix.
