I search for movies like Inside Man and posts recommended Heat.

But there’s pretty much just 2 robberies? In the bank scene, they wear masks but have their faces seen before they even put them on and just open the safe.

Reviews also mention this as a heist movie.

Is there a distinction between heist and robbery? I thought heists were like complex thefts that the people didn’t even know that the money is gone

    Given what you seem to have been expecting, you should definitely check out Oceans Eleven, The Italian Job, and just about every Mission Impossible movie. Those are the height of elaborate heist movies. For a pretty underwhelming depiction of the biggest real world heist ever pulled until just recently, but an otherwise awesome glimpse into the life of the characters who pulled it, check out Good Fellas.
