Movie Reviews of The Good Thief
Movie Review: Lousy Plot
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is called The Good Thief. What about Good Grief? The acting was okay (it seemed easy for Nick Nolte to play himself!) The story was dull and uninspiring. When I bought this movie, I thought it was going to be something like Ocean 11, but it wasn't. Instead, it tried to mesh too many different ideas at once. I'd say the worst part about this movie had to do with the girl Nick Nolte was with. What was her purpose, anyway? No one really says why she is even in the movie. There were times I thought this was a low budget movie. In any case, this is a great movie if you want to feel depressed and feel that you're superior in that you could create something better. But if you don't have that as your purpose, don't rent or buy it.

Movie Review: bad casting; embarassment abounds
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie had a lot to draw in the viewer: good visuals;set- ups; good editing. Unfortunately, the main character, Nolte, seems to be in his deep dotage. His lines are delivered in a monotone; you get no sense whatever of any real persona. I felt sad for Nolte as I watched it (not for more than 20 minutes, I must admit): does he (Nolte) need to be in the hospital?
I don't know why Nolte seemed so less-than-usual, and I am sorry--but he is way not acting on this one. I would give this movie a big zero, cause if you ain't got someone to identify with, you ain't got nothing. If genuine feeling is lacking..why bother?
Movie Review: SLOOOOOWWWWW
Summary: 1 Stars
I rented this movie because Nick Nolte was starring in it and his movies are usually pretty good. On my first attempt to look at this movie, I fell asleep. On my second attempt (days later) I fell asleep again. I never got past the scene at the casio when he and his parter were discussing stealing paintings from the casino. I guess watching a burned out heroin junkie having a friendly relationship with a 17 yr old runaway, who really wanted to sleep with him, does not hold my interest.
When Nolte's character wanted to get clean, he wasn't doing it for his own health, he was doing it so he can be sober for the next big heist.
Movie Review: "Good Theif" is a Bad Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a movie that I would never want to see a second time--it was bad enough the first time. The plot was difficult to follow and Nolte is a mess even when he is supposed to be "cleaned up." The acting was strained and mostly unbelieveable. Don't waste your money. The movie is a bad "B" version of Ocean's Eleven, but without any interesting characters.
