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."Movie Review: Paradoxically Stylish
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is quite a refreshing pleasure. It could easily be described as another highly stylized capper film but it is quite a bit deeper than that assessment. It is strongly character based with many participants who are themselves all quite quirky with Nick Nolte at the hub of this ensemble who is in fact the catalyst of a very intriguing but vague plot line. Even Nolte's character is that of a very vague art thief whom we really know nothing about yet he entices you and keeps you just interested enough before the bottom drops out. This is quite a mesmerizing film and to tell too much about it would just be telling too much! Take my word for it that this is one absolutely brilliantly orchestrated film that should leave you quite satisfied.Movie Review: Marvelous tribute to Bob le Flambeur!
Summary: 5 Stars
At last Neil Jourdan made a free adaptation of that fundamental movie of the purest New Wave spirit film of Jean Pierre Melville , Bob le flambeur .This remake is very well made , charming and elegant and if it lacks the bitterness of Bob le Flambeur , the characters are very well depicted and loaded of black humor and double twist jokes .
Kusturica as Vlado is outstanding , and the same adjective goes to Nick Nolte . Jourdan handles the camera with legendary masterful . The story never leaves you quiet , it's kinetic and dynamic .
Filmned with very broad gusto in this beautiful paradisiac coast: La rivera francesa .
A triumph all the way!
Movie Review: Jordan & Nolte Deliver
Summary: 5 Stars
Neil Jordan is one of my favorite directors. He is the kind of person who always delivers. Watch Interview with the Vampire, End of the Affair, The Crying Game. He makes exciting watchable movies. The Good Thief is a great movie. Not exactly his best, but it had strong memorable acting, especially from Nick Nolte. If your a Neil Jordan or Nolte fan, make sure you see this masterpiece.
Movie Review: the Good Thief
Summary: 5 Stars
A retread of Jean Pierre Melville's 1955 noir epic "Bob the Gambler" showcasing Nick Nolte's best performance yet. The story line is build around to rip off the heavily fortified Monte Carlo Casino with diversionary tactic to mislead all those who are watching, including the viewers. Great performances from excellent cast of international actors to make this movie very edgy picture.
