The film’s other fatal flaw is that it takes itself very seriously – this is a distraction when you’re aware that everything that’s happening in the film is either improbable or stupid. Even a wee bit of self awareness would probably have made Heist passable as a movie that is so bad it is fun, unfortunately as things stand this is a movie that is so bad that it is unwatchable.

The film has made a good attempt to make a mark as a fast-paced suspense film that keeps the audience fixated but its dissonant plot is leaves you wanting more. The praiseworthy acting by the star cast coupled with the high intensity action scenes make the film a fun one-time watch.

The film, thankfully, isn’t too long. To be fair, it might even work for an audience okay with spending 1 hour 30 minutes of their life watching a ‘timepass’ level generic thriller. But for the more serious moviegoer, Bus 657 is one they should be happy to miss.
