Review of Thief (1981) by Stephen M — 04 Dec 2007
It would take another 15 years for Michael Mann to perfect the Melvillian heist movie with "Heat", but this was an excellent first attempt. I never really bought the romantic sub-plot with Tuesday Weld but it did allow for a funny scene at an adoption agency.
It would have been a nice touch for James Caan to have played the Jon Voight role in "Heat"...
