Review of Thief (1981)

By Ken S (1,985) on 05 Apr 2016

Michael Mann welcomes Neon-Noir to the world…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Michael M (3,845) on 23 Mar 2016

I cannot believe I've never seen this movie until tonight. James Caan is fantastic and so is this movie…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Jake A (1,026) on 19 Feb 2016

Finally saw this awesome movie. James Caan and Tuesday Weld are pretty much perfect as characters in transition…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Peter F (998) on 11 Jan 2016

I was rather pleased to cross this one off the List Of Shame in style, breaking the seal on the Criterion Blu-ray…

Review of Thief (1981)

By James L (1,420) on 26 Dec 2015

About 14 years before Michael Mann made Heat he made Thief…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Ian R (982) on 20 Sep 2015

You've seen this movie before, but thanks to Mann's stylish direction and Caan's performance, Thief manages to amount to more than just another…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Alec B (1,705) on 01 Sep 2015

I very much liked the film thief where james cann plays a safe cracker who sells cars as a cover but he would like to give it all up and marry…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Guti H (28) on 30 Aug 2015

Intense movie led by an excellent performance by James Caan…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Tim M (3,013) on 25 Jul 2015

I'm afraid I wasn't convinced by Thief. Maybe it was me not knowing who James Caan is (gasp) so the main character had no rapport with me…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Karl L (94) on 08 Jul 2015

If I saw this when I was younger I probably would've loved it…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Chw (152) on 13 Jun 2015

Thief is probably one of Michael Mann's best film, besides The Insider and Heat, of course…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Anthony I (417) on 11 Jun 2015

I lasted about an hour before I got bored to tears. For a great director, this is such a boring first film…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Ross Mcindoe (32) for The Skinny (809) on 02 Jun 2015

Thief wears its genre as a badge of honour from the very first scene…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Paul J (1,190) on 09 May 2015

The film that defines the separation between 70's and 80's films…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Tommy H (334) on 11 Apr 2015

Even though it was made in 1981, I would call Thief the last great crime drama of the 1970's…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Evan J (438) on 22 Mar 2015

With a standout performance by James Caan and some of Michael Mann's most visceral, tension-filled work, Thief will steal your heart (pun)…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Kase V (138) on 20 Mar 2015

Mann's feature debut is a gritty mass of machismo and kinetic energy, and James Caan turns in one of his greatest performances…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Chris Q (279) on 16 Feb 2015

(Watched in 2015) A film that belongs in it's era. It's too long, the drama is dated, and the music irritating sometimes…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Daniel M (2,592) on 15 Feb 2015

Why don't they put synth scores on thrillers anymore…

Review of Thief (1981)

By Sean C (2,276) on 09 Feb 2015
