Viewers are expected to sympathize with Joe and his loyal team who are very willing to maim and kill. While most killings occur off-camera, vicious beatings, intense gun battles, kicks to groin, stomach and back are difficult to watch. A prolonged, gory closeup of one gunshot victim’s bloody head is particularly graphic. Massive property destruction with explosives and crowbars while breaking into safes, buildings and airplanes occur frequently. Filthy dialogue includes 62 f-words. Fran’s betrayal of her husband may save his life. Maybe her motive is more lust and greed, but either way, adultery and criminal behavior are glorified. Sex is implied once when Jimmy rips Fran’s dress off, but only her bare back is shown. HEIST’s use of violence to entertain, filthy language, and glamorization of crime earn a failing grade.
