Movie Reviews of The Good Thief
Movie Review: Thanks & Praise
Summary: 5 Stars
"Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with Thee and He was definitely with Thee the day Thee created Ralph Fiennes. He is the most super hot guy to ever come out of England. Thank you for giving him the idea to become an actor who is willing to do nude scenes so that he can make films, like The Good Thief, and then I can buy the DVD and watch it over and over instead of having real relationships with real men, most of which don't even look like Ralph Fiennes. Lastly, I `d like to thank you for making Ralph have his hair long, having him rock a 5 o'clock shadow and then having him go completely mental in my favorite scene that I watch over and over again because I own the DVD of The Good Thief. Blessed be Ralph Fiennes forever and ever. And thanks for not letting John Mcain win. Amen."
Summary of The Good Thief
Nick Nolte delivers a riveting performance as Bob Mantagnet, a wisecracking master thief whose luck seems to have finally run out. Pursued by the police at every turn, the king of con gambles it all on the casino heist of a lifetime inside the decadent world of the French Riviera. A savvy rogue with the perfect quote for every occasion, Bob's last bid at glory is to rob the priceless paintings inside an underground vault that's impossible to crack. Acclaimed Director - winner Neil Jordan directs this ingenious and sexy crime thirller that is "This Year's First Must-See Movie" (Lou Lumenick, New York Post)When Neil Jordan is really on his game, as he is with The Good Thief, his directorial skill is a marvel to behold. In the character-driven mode of Jordan's Mona Lisa and The Crying Game, this smooth, underrated caper provides an abundance of cinematic riches, not the least being Jordan's peerless knack for dialogue and a tailor-made role for Nick Nolte. For better or worse, Nolte's off-screen drug abuse served him well in portraying Bob Montagnet, ace thief, recovering heroin addict, and beloved denizen of the French Riviera, where his luck is about to take some very clever turns. The elegant plot is yours to discover: In loosely remaking the French classic Bob le Flambeur, Jordan crafts what one reviewer aptly called "the underbelly of Ocean's Eleven," involving an impenetrable vault full of priceless art, a rescued Russian prostitute, an eccentric band of accomplices, and high-stakes poker in Monte Carlo. Nolte's right at home in this rich-and-risky milieu, and the combined talents of Jordan and ace cinematographer Chris Menges make The Good Thief a pleasure from start to finish. --Jeff Shannon
