A fairly average and formulaic heist film, Love, Cheat & Steal doesn’t have any originality to it, but it still manages to deliver some entertaining thrills. When Reno learns of his wife’s remarriage to a prominent banker he breaks out of prison to get his revenge, and to pull off one last score. The cast is rather interesting, and includes John Lithgow, Madchen Amick, and Eric Roberts. However, the performances are stereotypical; though it sort of works for the story that’s being told. And, there are a few twists and turns that add some suspense to the film. While Love, Cheat & Steal is by-the-numbers, it’s not all bad.

A love triangle with a deceptive but surprising outcome.
