Review of The Thieves (2012) by Dean M — 01 Mar 2013
Dong-hoon Choi delivers the stolen goods in The Thieves.For 2 hours and 15 minutes the story keeps the pressure on as the plot constantly leaves details to be determined. With all the characters and the heist elements the story does require attention to keep up; however, it manages to stay simple enough to avoid confusion.
The heist is quite elaborate, but that's only half the film. The film continues with other criminal activity and even some action sequences to top it all off.Despite some disappointing closures for some of the characters, the variety of them is a huge asset to this picture and is backed by some solid acting all around.
Gianna Jun is the eye catcher of them all and the most lively at that. Yun-seok Kim is a reliable ringleader. Simon Yam, Angelica Lee, and Hye-Soo Kim fill up some of the other major characters.After all the fun has run its course, The Thieves finds itself as a film worth stealing.
