Review of Thief (1981) by Marc L — 24 Sep 2007
The one that started it all. First feature film from Mann after lots of TV work. The story is a classic one but Mann handles it with a different and beautiful twist, applying a realistic and gritty feel to the ensemble.
Great opening scene AND great ending scene, Mann's directing is pitch perfect, the cinematography looks great and what a score from Tangerine Dream ! Best role of Jimmy Caan's career.
