Heist Movies | Editor’s Pen

Hi All,

Welcome back. Well, last year, same time, same day we came up with our first genre special- Horror Special. I think TRM is quite struck with the letter H. That’s the reason why when we decided to go ahead with this year’s genre special, we zeroed upon another H. Heist Movies!!!

Heist Movies? What’s that? Frankly speaking, I don’t blame you because it is not a very common term. We generalize these movies as Thriller or Mystery but that doesn’t changes the nature of these movies. They have a purpose and they tend to accomplish them. In these movies, the core plot is all about a few people trying to steal something or accomplish a task that is not-so-legal. The twists and turns in the plot make these movies such a kill. Example, Reservoir Dogs and Inception.

Heist movies are inherently racy and the pace of story-telling usually is so breath taking that audience tends to skip major loopholes in the plot. They just go with the flow and when they come out of theatre the expression is a big O. Example, did you noticed that in A Wednesday (not exactly an heist movie but very close to this genre), where did Shah got his only bomb which he planted in the Police Station? Like getting RDX is a joke? We just tend to believe whatever is going on screen. That’s the power of Heist Movies. So… gear up… We are going to take you on a topsy turvy ride.

Love,
Sujoy Ghosh
