American Heist struggles with many things, as for a straight to video film. Starring Adrien Brody and Hayden Christensen. Featuring in the film, is shown as Brody's slim, wiry frame is muscled here in a fashion that recalls his presence in Predators. Although there, his makeover felt like a stunt, but in American Heist it lends wasted subtext to a desperate protagonist. Occasionally, we see Brody moves you in spite of himself, and trying to act to lift up the film but it doesn't work, with the way of the weakened writing and directing. A positive about the film and its characters is the presence of Hayden Christensen,where he makes a good hero and shows some warmth in his scenes with Jordana Brewster, however only to noticing their subplot doesn't amount to anything at all. American Heist tends to play as a lesser Heat or the Town.
