The Italian Job was scored by the legendary Quincy Jones. People may forget how epic The Great Escape was, but it’s theme music remains timeless. While music is not a nessesary for a high quality Heist Movie; good choerography most definately is. And nothing exemplifies choreography better than a great supporting and sychronous soundtrack. This point is actually highlighted throughout the film Baby Driver with it’s main character “Baby”. Unlucky for Baby, he lost his parents at an early age in a car crash and suffers from tinitus as a result. Luckily for the viewers, Baby drowns out the constant ringing with a killer soundtrack, setting the tone for each scene. Killer in this case is no understatement. Spanning six decades and endless genres: from the The Commadores to Danger Mouse,  Glam Rock to Synth-Pop, funky 70s covers of 50s rock….the eclectic mix of music stored in one man’s ipod is undeniable. But to be eclectic alone is not enough for a good Heist either. Sure it may be crazy enough to get the characters to the finish line, but complexity will ensure evasion and observers on the edges of their seats.
Also for choreography to be considered of quality must it must be intricate. It can be simple in its execution of intracisy, but intricate none-the-less.

Choose Your Double-Cross

What is a heist movie without a double cross? Could it even be considered a heist movie? It would mean that the stakes weren’t large enough, personalities weren’t strong enough, the lust wasn’t high enough.  After that you’re left with an over-complicated robbery documentary. A double-cross in heist films come in all shapes and sizes, but usually revolve around either infighting (Mission Impossible 1, Ronin) or manipulation of or from a new member of the group (Mission Impossible 1,Ocean’s Eleven, Inception, Heat, The Town)
Even more delicate is the great Double-Double-Cross (Mission Impossible 1, Ronin, The Great Muppet Caper) . It becomes a delicate affair as its use comes with fine line between an intricate plot twist, and a lazy way to redeem characters though victimisation.

None-the-less the inclusion of a Double-[Double]-Cross plays into the choreography and intricacy of a heist film and often helps ,rather than hinders, a viewers enjoyment factor.

Now this doesn’t have to be a love of a woman, although it often it. The love could also be of adrenaline (Point Break), rebellion, power, or just money in general. But the key factor is always that it is a love that could put the whole team in jeopardy and a risk that they are willing to take.
