The 25 Best Heist Movies Ever
Lots of movies are about criminals committing crimes, but heist movies are a particularly special breed. The thieves in heist movies aren't (usually) violent monsters hellbent on destroying society, but rather brilliant professionals who put in the legwork to pull off nearly impossible feats of skill. We may not like that they're stealing stuff, but we can - if only in a movie - respect the heck out of their ability to accomplish a seemingly impossible task.
Heist movies have been around since nearly the dawn of cinema, but they truly flourished from the 1950s onward as a series of hardboiled American and French film noirs codified all the famous tropes that now permeate through almost every entry in the genre, from Oscar-nominated dramas like Hell or High Water to blockbuster larks like Solo: A Star Wars Story and Ocean's 8.
Clint Eastwood to Direct, Star in True Crime Movie About Elderly Drug Runner
Clint Eastwood is set to star in and direct a true crime film about an 80-year-old drug runner.
Variety reports the movie, titled The Mule, is based on a 2014 New York Times Magazine feature. Eastwood will portray Earl Stone who, unbeknownst to him, signs on a drug runner for the Mexican cartel.
He catches the attention of DEA agent Colin Bates, portrayed by Bradley Cooper. This will mark Eastwood's first acting role since 2012's Trouble With the Curve.
A release date for The Mule has not been set yet.
For IGN's thoughts on Eastwood's last two movies, read our reviews of The 15:17 to Paris and Sully.
