Heist/Con Movies Round up!
My favorite "Heist" films to date. These are films that portray a robbery/caper with an elaborate plan/con, a confidence man scheme or a hustle of some sort. The film usually hides something from the audience with the reveal happening towards the conclusion. I've noted if its available on digital/streaming channels
