Review of The Thieves (2012) by Sarfaraz A — 12 Dec 2012
The Thieves South Korean caper film directed by Choi Dong-hun with ensemble cast. Film is currently the second highest grossing movie in Korean film history.
Chinese veteran thieves in Hong Kong join gang led by South Korean master thief, in a heist to steal diamond. Film offers an additional asset of comedy essentially. Interesting and sweet characters, with clumsy feelings of romance.
Here comes another film, long-waited genre from South-Korea 'Caper - Heist film'. Film unintentionally put similarities to Hollywood caper Ocean Eleven, however this offers several twists at the end, on the contrary the direction mentions previous inspirations from his films The Big Swindle and Tazza The High Rollers.
Excellent cinematography enliven the stunts performed on high-rise buildings' walls. Vivid locations to bring coolness to your eyes. Extraordinarily enjoying and one of great surprises from Korean-cinema.
