Thief

Bäst: Den visuella stilen samt personkemin mellan James Caan och Tuesday Weld. Sämst: Att inte fler upptäckt denna pärla till film.

More than with Heat’s Neil McCauley, Thief portrays the dehumanising effect of prison.

At a time when thrillers have been devalued by the routine repetition of the same dumb chases, sex scenes, and gunfights, Thief is completely out of the ordinary.

The performances by Caan, Prosky, Belushi, and Weld are nothing less than terrific

...one of the most confident directorial debuts of its era, the product of an unprecedented amount of research and preparation.
