Review of Street Thief (2006) by Jim L — 10 Aug 2014
This is one of the best movies I have seen in the past few years. It is overlooked and from my perspective it fits the definition of a sleeper. I am amazed that this movie didn't get more buzz when it came out and that it didn't get the pick-up that you would expect from a brilliant film.
The acting in the movie is amazing and the overall film is brilliant! I think if this movie had come out these days of social media and the amount of exposure a film can get through festivals like SXSW, it would have been a huge hit and been picked-up by a major distributor, rather than purchased by a cable company.
That being said, you have to see this film. If you enjoyed movies like The Imposter or Compliance, you will LOVE this film!
I STRONGLY recommended this movie as a MUST SEE for anyone that has not seen it yet!
Update: I watched this film again on Netflix and loved it even more the 2nd time. I really am amazed that this movie didn't get more hype and exposure. This is the problem with the film industry, unless you are somewhat known, networked with the big money guys, or hit a lucky home run, you are stuck. Because there are so many bad indie films it is hard to break through. I wish this film had been seen by more people - it is BRILLIANT!!!
