DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
AMERICAN HEIST - Akon
"With coercion from some bad muthas named Ray and Sugar (Tory Kittles and Akon, the latter of whom also composed the movie’s forgettable soundtrack), Jimmy reluctantly signs on. There’s an attempt to give Sugar and Ray some political traction with a speech about how they’re conducting a people's war on banks. But it seems like a tag-on in the script rather than subtext."
Jim Slotek, Toronto Sun
"Of course, that scheme goes terribly awry in the pic’s lengthy climax, which, in being watchable action, is at least an improvement on the hackneyed earlier proceedings. But even then the mayhem is just OK, the narrative surprises close to zero. The destructive-yet-loyal brother dynamic that the pic takes very seriously (as do the schmaltzy passages in Akon’s original score) is cornball through and through; ditto the by-numbers romance. It’s a bit troubling that the only black characters here are also the most ruthlessly violent ones, and Raul Inglis’ uninspired screenplay is ludicrous when handing Ray lofty speeches about how banks are the real villains in our society. It’s a point that would be worth debating if it weren’t mouthed by a one-dimensional remorseless killer."
Dennis Harvey, Variety
"Otherwise, 'American Heist' does have a sense of style, with DP Antonio Calvache ('Little Children') capturing the decrepit Big Easy locations in starkly-lit, widescreen compositions that looked great at the film’s Toronto premiere. The music is also strong, especially original tracks by Aliaune 'Akon' Thiam, who makes his screen debut playing a gangsta named 'Sugar' with a thick gold necklace and three lines of dialogue."
Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
