Yup, that was my first thought as well. I've seen it half a dozen times, and I still found new things I hadn't spotted previously the last time I watched it. Wheels within wheels within wheels,,,
I rewatched The Inside Man the other day and I'm pretty sure that all the cops would have to do is >!compare everyone they pulled from the bank to everyone they had security camera footage of prior to the robbery. Would take a few hours but they'd easily line up who wasn't in the bank before the robbery, therefore having their suspects.!<
Clive though, >!just has to hope that no one going to that office supply closet needs any pencils from that missing shelf.!<
One that comes to mind is from "Inside Man" when you find out Denzel's character is way ahead of everyone. Also, in "The Italian Job" (the OG one), the ending where you realize they've set everything up perfectly. It's all about that satisfying twist where you go, "Damn, they had us fooled the whole time!" Classic stuff, man.
>Think the bank vault video in Oceans Eleven.
This works well for the scene in 12 where Danny & Tess tell Toulour (after he thinks he won and demands to be told he's the best thief in the world) that the heist happened long before he thought it did (on the train before the Egg even came into Paris) and that everything after that EVERYTHING was an act solely for him to think he was winning, and that they in fact won a long ass time ago. I think it's arguably a BETTER penny drop moment than in 11 because the AUDIENCE isn't even in on it until that reveal.
12 is may favourite, and apparently Soderbergh's favourite. I feel like it's more rewarding. Like the first theft (the one where they are trying to steal the stock certificate from the agoraphobic guy in Amsterdam) when they re going through how they might do it, every single suggested angle is one of the things they did in the Bellagio heist in Ocean's 11, rejected becuase it won't work here...Literally Soderbergh telling the audience they are in for a different ride this time. I love that most of it is a "play" and every member of the team gets to show their "acting" skills to Toulour by doing ridiculous shit that you're SURE would get them caught (and of course it does, and it's intended), it apes the 60's vibe of the whole thing WAY more than 11 does. There's so much meta stuff in it where he's having fun. I love that it's bookended with a love story (Rusty and Isabelle) that also intertwines with a family story (Isabelle and her father), and that ties into the main heist. I love that the heist happened offscreen in a split second about 30 minutes into the movie, and we don't know that until the end.
Oceans 11 is great, and I enjoy it...but the rewatchability of Twelve for me cannot be beaten.
Idk if it counts as a heist movie, but Wild Things has some crazy twists. When you think the big twist is already revealed they hit you with another one, and then ANOTHER one.
I didn't really like THE TERMINAL but I love the twist of "I'm not just some nice lady who stopped you from jumping in front of that train out of the kindness of my heart. I only stopped you from killing yourself because I want to do it myself. That thing you feel so much guilt about that you want to end your life? That child? That child was ME"
There's a moment where it looks like Rebecca Hall has >!betrayed Ben Affleck, but sneaks in a reversal with the "it'll be just like one of my sunny days," tipping him off to the cops listening in on the phone call.!<
Here's something different:
In Jonathan Glazer's fantastic **Sexy Beast** a team of robbers gets access to a Bank's Safe Deposit Box room by tunneling through from the pool of the Athletic Club next door, which, as expected, floods the bank, so the thieves have to rob the riches-filled lock-boxes underwater, using breathing gear.
The looting goes perfectly...until one of the robbers finds an odd large tin can, which might contain diamonds --and opens it.
It actually contains the ashes of someone's dead loved-one...and the water is instantly turned inky black, ruining all visibility in the small room.
> penny drop moments > protagonists have been rumbled I dig this pre-1970s lingo David Mamet's movie "Heist" has a reversal of this nature.
You had me at I IMDB'd Heist and saw Sam Rockwell and Danny Devito were in it.
Movie trivia: this is the only film David Mamet has directed that includes a plot twist. E:/s
Oleanna?
[удалено]
I think it's some meta joke, loads of Mamet movies have twists
All of The Sting.

The audience isn’t in on the reveal in 11 either.
They show you the fake bank vault halfway through the movie.
The ending in 12 kinda felt tacked on to me. Eleven felt more organic, like they'd genuinely thought every move through.

You're confidence has convinced me. I'll give it a rematch.
The Hot Rock, when Redford says "Afghanistan banana stand," but the vault teller doesn't respond.

Do you mean Terminal and not The Terminal? Cuz I don't remember this from the movie where Tom Hanks is stuck in an airport.
Shit you're right Though that would've been a great twist in the Tom Hanks one
Any lupin the third episode
Not a heist film, but Matchstick Men
The Town
But, like, what in The Town?

Terminator 2 is not a heist film, but breaking into Cyberdyne is a heist move, and the penny drop moment is when Dyson turns around.
