The Last Heist 2016

As Bernard (Henry Rollins) makes his entrance into a quaint Los Angeles bank, he’s welcomed by a colorful cast of characters: the congenial employee Danny (Michael Aaron Milligan), his superior Mark (John O’Brien), the elderly Ms. Waxman (Fay DeWitt), and Cynthia (Courtney Compton). Demandingly, Bernard insists he should be served first, and Cynthia, though reluctant, allows Danny to escort him to his safety deposit box. Tragically, this calm moment is abruptly shattered when a gang of robbers, led by Paul (Torrance Coombs) and Washington (Mykel Shannon Jenkins), barges in, taking Mark, Ms. Waxman, and Cynthia hostage.

Throughout the unfolding chaos, Bernard appears disturbingly unaffected; he calmly extracts several human eyeballs from his safety deposit box, an action that radiates an eerie sense of normalcy amidst horror. As Danny is taken upstairs and held hostage, he learns that Paul is actually his long-lost brother. The robbers, including Biggs (Nick Principe) and Rick (Ken Lyle), corral the hostages into a back room and assume guard positions.

In a crucial yet fleeting moment, Danny manages to signal for help, alerting 911, which leads to the arrival of Detective Pascal (Victoria Pratt) and her team. Pascal confronts Paul at the bank’s main entrance, capturing his likeness for identification while expressing skepticism about his alibi. As tensions rise, Rick attempts an escape from the vehicle, but Pascal reacts swiftly, shooting him twice, leaving him gravely wounded.

Chaos ensues as Paul, Washington, and Biggs retaliate with gunfire against the responding officers while dragging Rick back inside the bank, escalating the violence. The dramatic arrival of Franklin (Robert Craighead), Pascal’s superior, heightens the intensity. Meanwhile, Tracey (Kristina Klebe) ventures into the vault for valuables and to find a missing civilian—Bernard himself. However, her search ends in tragedy as Bernard attacks her lethally, gouging out her eyes in a frenzied assault.

Paul’s panic intensifies upon discovering Tracey’s corpse, and he rushes to inform the others of this grim revelation. Outside, Ms. Waxman pleads with Ally for a moment alone to use the restroom, but the fate that awaits her is horrifying; when Ally assents, he comes face-to-face with her lifeless body, her eyes gouged out brutally. Bernard seizes another chance to cause mayhem, claiming yet another victim in the bank.

Meanwhile, Biggs, with his keen intuition, uncovers a hidden elevator leading to the bank’s basement—a potential escape route. As Rick’s condition worsens, Paul makes a frantic plea to Pascal for medical assistance and a bus for an escape. Just then, heavily armed agents—Smith (Cris D’Annunzio) and Sinclair (John J. York), claiming to be U.S. Defense contractors, storm the bank, seeking Paul for previous robberies.

Their arrival only deepens the turmoil as Smith, masquerading as a medic, is revealed to work for Sinclair, shocking Pascal and Franklin. Cautiously, the robbers hold Smith captive while Cynthia manages to slip away with Rick. In the midst of this chaos, Bernard encounters Paul, leading to a horrific sniping incident where Sinclair’s sharpshooter mistakenly targets AJ as a hostage.

As the violence escalates, Bernard ruthlessly dispatches two more victims—Biggs, who meets his end with an axe to the head, and Smith, whose life is extinguished by Bernard’s own hand. The bank transforms into a veritable house of horrors, where the chances of survival dwindle rapidly.

Amidst Sinclair’s charged intervention with Pascal, gunfire erupts as they clash with Washington and Mark. The latter’s tragic fate only spirals the tension higher, revealing that Sinclair and his companions belong to a ruthless drug cartel cloaked in deception. The harrowing reality becomes apparent as Paul meets a gruesome end at Sinclair’s hands, showcasing that no one is safe in this treacherous game.

Meanwhile, Pascal, bleeding profusely from her neck wound, decisively takes out Sinclair’s remaining henchmen. However, in her final moments, it’s Danny who takes center stage, seizing Pascal’s gun with newfound resolve, setting his sights on the fleeing Sinclair who’s discovering an escape route through the basement.

Danny’s pursuit through the dimly lit corridors leads him to an intense confrontation with Bernard. After a fierce struggle, a knife inadvertently dropped by Sinclair becomes the instrument of Danny’s triumph over Bernard. But as Sinclair attempts to flee into the bright sunlight, Danny reveals a shocking truth: he too is tied to a rival drug cartel, fiercely guarding the bank’s hidden treasures.

In a swift act of vengeance, Danny dispatches Sinclair, leaving him lifeless outside. However, the scene quickly turns grim as Bernard reemerges, showcasing his disturbing obsession with anatomy. With a chilling efficiency, he brutally stabs Danny before gouging out his eyes, adding them to the grotesque collection in jars within his lair. Bernard, now a haunting figure amidst the carnage, slips away into the night with the ill-gotten gains and his grotesque trophies, leaving the remnants of the horrific night behind.
