About What! The Heist
A criminal nicknamed "Godfather" breaks out of jail to complete a mission given to him by his boss, titled "Lottery Heist". After recruiting an unsuspecting actor desperate for money to help his sick daughter, they begin to execute their grand plan. The plan involves swapping out lotto balls to win the jackpot, a prize worth $100 million. As they work through things step-by-step, it soon comes to light that Godfather`s boss plans to kill everyone involved after the mission is completed. Godfather and his new recruit now have to plot to save their lives and keep the money for themselves.
Directed by Matt Lai, What! The Heist leans on a strong ensemble — Mark Lee, Patricia Mok, Henry Thia — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.
