Review of The Thieves (1959) by Jesse O — 21 Apr 2013
The movie reminded me of an Asian version of Ocean's Eleven..... with a thousand double-crosses and other shit. BEAUTIFUL Korean girls. Kim Hye-Soo is goregeous and her body is amazing for a 40yr old.
Gianna Jun (I forget her actual korean name) is so pretty. Was pretty cool to have Chinese actors + Korean actors in one movie. Thought it was meh that they all died though. Also... where the fuck did Derek Tsang disappear to? They didn't show him get killed.
.. but just ran away. So was he the only one of the "Chinese group" of thieves that survived and decided to run? Oh Dal-Su was part of the "Chinese group" as well (playing a Korean-Chinese person) and he survived and joined the "Korean group".
Guess they wanted the remaining ones to all be 100% Korean. Kim Yun-Seok and Oh Dal-Su... both have pretty good Mandarin. Even if it was a bit off, they could've passed for Mainlanders. Even appearance-wise.
That's what I thought Oh Dal-Su was to begin with. Plot was pretty good. Was clever. One thing that does get annoying though is how many double crosses and mini plans there are. Kinda get confused especially how everything was subtitled.
It was okay for the Chinese portion (since I'm Chinese).
