Watch Dead Heist For Free

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Admirable film.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A fun little B-movie Zombie romp, about bank-robbers that pick the wrong night/town to rob a bank...as long as you keep in mind-it is what it is-it's enjoyable, especially if you are a fan of cheesy B-movies and/or horror...the acting is so-so(no Oscars will be handed out but I have seen much, much worse), the effects are OK(not on par with any of the Romero or big-budget horror movies...but I'm guessing they weren't working with a ton of money to begin with), and the plot/story is passable(in a movie like this logic pretty much goes out of the window and suspension of disbelief is the order of the day...or you can just laugh it up-you choose). There are quite a few hip-hop artists in the movie(Big Daddy Kane, BoneCrusher, E40...)if you are a fan of the genre;if not, there inclusion will be transparent to you.Shut off brain, eat popcorn, enjoy:)

There are two kinds of b movies out there, the ones that are jammed together in the most cynical fashion to wrench out a few bucks and nothing more. then there's movies like 'Dead Heist' where you can just tell that people with little to no budget got together for love of making movies and had a great time in the process. The dialogue is foul and quite hilarious for it, and while the plot is meager at best, there is something infectious (truly no pun intended) about the way everyone involved gives it their all. The small town locations are put to good use, and the violence is never anything but comic book bloody. This movie is nothing but fun and that is all it was ever meant to be. By the way, Zach Hanner rocks.

This movie's plot was so simple and easy, that it's a wonder how the filmmakers could mess it up. I understand that these people didn't have the biggest budget in the world, but they had everything they needed to make (at best) a mediocre movie, and failed MISERABLY.The first half of the movie explains all of the character's motivations...and it works. Asides from some dialog, I enjoyed the first half. I wasn't expecting to relate with any of the characters or even like them, but I did. Some of the characters were really interesting and you could understand why they'd want to leave 'the life' behind. Then comes the 2nd half of the movie.The 2nd half of the movie throws out all of the character development out the window and we just can't wait for these people to die. It's as if the writer of the 1st half let his little nephew still in Junior High School finish the script. Some parts are damn near insulting of one's intelligence towards the end.Even though I hung my head down in shame in some parts that could have been gold, I give the filmmakers respect for some of the visuals in this movie. The filmmakers had all the right tools to make a decent flick, but in the end, it's missing something that is supposed to make a movie watchable...a decent script.3/10

O.k so normally I avoid straight to DVD horrors like the plague (I love the old school cheapo video stuff but this shot on video garbage we see today is really nauseating) unless instructed to do otherwise by a trusted source of info. After reading the synopsis I was intrigued I'm a huge fan of zombie cinema (I know there not strictly "stenches" but you've got to take what you get these days) and also a hip-hop head so seeing Big Daddy Kane and E-Fonzarelli in the cast led me to take a risk and watch this film. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, with a little more financial backing and solid acting this could have done the rounds at cinemas everywhere especially after the strong showing of films such as the Dawn remake and more recently 28 weeks later. Big Daddy Kane was a pleasure to watch as the hunter, while Kanes no Brando he glides along on the charisma hes's shown since his rap heyday. The plot is tight and original the blending of genres here mesh well although heist films and zombie films often take on a siege setting so it isn't much of a stretch. The acting is decent and the direction although derivative is of a certain standard. The only real let down of the film is the special effects and make up it's really bog standard and the final scene is really let down by this. The films run time is only around 75 mins so it rarely has the chance to slow down and begin to annoy.All in all it was a good effort all round maybe 6 is too generous of a rating seeing as some classic films fail to hit that mark on the IMDb but it's early in the A.M i'm tired but happy so what the hell. Long Live The KANE
