Movie Reviews of Thief

Movie Review: MANN'S FIRST AND HIS BEST
Summary: 4 Stars

For a first-time film effort, Thief is an instant classic and a benchmark work in the storied career of Michael Mann. Long before his Miami Vice fame, Mann made this compelling film noir about a thief trying to go straight and live the life of his dreams. James Caan turns in a performance that raises his level of brilliance that much further. Indeed, the entire cast is excellent. Of note, Tuesday Weld's performance as the woman Caan's character covents as part of his goal for a better life is equally compelling. Though Mann's re-explored this territory in Heat, that work never strikes the level of intimacy with the audience that Thief does. A truly great American film.

Movie Review: Great Movie.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is some of Micheal Mann's earlier work. Great character development and a Miami Vice type theme on the bad guys. A cult classic. Plus Willie's in it, can't go wrong there!

Movie Review: Thief
Summary: 5 Stars

With its snazzy visual style and moody urban atmosphere, Mann's first film was a thrilling example of the director's unique approach to portraying tough-guy anxiety. In perhaps the finest lead performance of his career, Caan inhabits the role of the middle-aged gem snatcher with ease and even poignancy, as we watch his white-picket dreams go down the drain. Terrific performances by Weld, Jim Belushi (as Frank's accomplice), and Prosky, perfectly understated as the brutal Leo, help the movie achieve greatness. Plus, Mann's heist sequence is electrifying, and the throbbing Tangerine Dream score adds emotional depth. Steal a glance at "Thief."
