File this serial killer-hostage thriller under "good idea, with some good bits, but not very good". I'm a big Henry Rollins fan and he's the main reason to watch.
Oof. This was bad. Like jaw-droppingly awful bad.
The concept is sound: A serial killer gets caught up in an armed bank heist and starts dispatching the robbers one by one. Good. I'm down for something like that.
But almost immediately the cheap and nastiness of this film becomes apparent. The bank that is being robbed is apparently being closed down, which equates to a production design being shoddily put over what looks like a building which has been abandoned and lived in by vagrants for a couple of years.
The acting is beyond terrible, with only the sassy detective (Victoria Pratt) managing to generate any kind of character beyond "annoying" in her all-too rare scenes.
The script is a…
I love a good heist movie, even the not so great ones I appreciate the whole planning and execution of said heist. Here unfortunately there is no attention to those important details. I dig the idea of addition of the so called heist taking place with a serial killer in the bank played convincingly by Henry Rollins.
But other than that seems like a missed opportunity.
It's like Die Hard but instead of a New York City cop crawling through air vents offing criminals one by one, it's Windows the serial killer Henry Rollins.
And instead of being one of the greatest action films ever made it's a great big cluster fuck of suck.
Still one point for an intriguing genre mash up and one point for the ever watchable Rollins.
I quite liked the of the premise: A gang of bank robbers are hunted one by one by a serial killer in the bank during a heist. Could have been an '80s slasher film meets Heat. Instead it was just STV garbage with low rent acting, special effects and terrible writing.
The Last Time I'd Watch This...
Simply put: Great concept, terrible execution. This C (don't know if it qualifies as a B movie) film was intended to marry two of my favorite genres: the horror film and the heist film. If this marriage happened and felt genuine for even a moment, divorce followed by the time the first act was even over.
The film is about a group of mostly ex-military criminals who are planning on a bonds heist on a lightly-guarded security deposit bank in the process of being shut down, but are surprised to find a serial killer is coincidentally on grounds to remove his kill trophies from his own vault. Henry Rollins, best known as a prominent…
Henry Rollins completists should reconsider their priorities. More soon in my RogerEbert.com review.
This movie was fucking awful
Picture every heist trope ever but made for $6
It looks like it was filmed on a microwave
The one star is for Rollins
I can’t believe I watched the entire thing just because I’m extraordinarily depressed tonight and couldn’t bring myself to change it
Novel premise: A serial killer is trapped in a bank during a robbery. Sounds like a possibly intriguing film. Unfortunately, the filmmakers completely forget they have a serial killer at their disposal for the second half of the movie and it turns into just another generic heist movie.
Most TV shows have an episode where the heroes are trapped in a bank during an holdup. The X-Files, Burn Notice, The Simpsons... It's been done before. Here, you add Henry Rollins as The Windows Killer. Imagine a more restrained version of Michael Douglas in Falling Down. He kills people and collects their eyes. He stores said eyes in a safe deposit box in a bank. The bank is the target of…
I watched this for Rollins. If you watch this for Rollins only, it's pretty good. Kind of hard to ignore the other, less well done parts, though.
This ones pretty bad. I was interested in it because it was a heist movie ... Some might think they should watch it for the odd serial killer plot ... I recommend watching something else if you are looking for either of those things. There is a heist and two criminal groups are involved. The writers may have had a good idea mixing in a serial killer but overall nothing about this movie is good or great. There are some average elements but there is also poor acting, dialogue, action, special effects and kill scenes. Its not terrible but its not good quality either. 4/10
"Slasher let loose during a bank heist" is a fun idea that should have been played like DIE HARD meets FRIDAY THE 13th, but THE LAST HEIST is way too unfocused and structurally wonky. Henry Rollins is a great choice for the killer, but he disappears for a massive chunk of the running time, and the movie never finds any reason for us to care about anyone pulling off the job, so it's a lot of waiting around to get to the fireworks factory. The faux gravitas and lack of escalation make this feel like a 15-minute short film stretched out to 90 minutes.

Kalo mau nyari film yang bikin emosi nonton ini aja ga boong, lu bakal terkaget kaget sama plotnya yang super duper mustahil bin ajaib, tokohnya dibikin lemah semua njir gangerti lagi, endingnya kacau banget serasa dipaksain biar lebih beda. The point is I highly don't recommend you to watch this. It was awful, I'm sorry.
There's a really cool premise here, but the end product just feels soo cheap and haphazard, it's hard to get engaged. It doesn't help that the acting is.... oof!
A decently ridiculous B-movie premise (a serial killer is among the hostages during a botched bank heist) is squandered in this utterly awful film. Happy to applaud the ambition of low budget filmmakers; but I'm not sure there's any ambition on display here. So I'm not willing to applaud the results...
