Review of Thief (1981) by Jay Scott for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 25 Jan 1994
Mr. Mann may well become a very good theatrical film maker but, among other things, he's going to have to learn how to edit himself, to resist the temptation to allow dialogue that is colorful to turn, all of a sudden, into deep, abiding purple.
Time after time scenes start off well and slip into unintentionally comic excess.
