Review of Thieves Like Us (1974) by Bobby B — 19 Feb 2011
One of Robert Altman's more minor achievements, but Thieves Like Us still contains quiet charms. Nothing here makes a huge impact and it even becomes tedious at times, but Thieves Like Us takes a likable and unique approach to the familiar "bank robbers on the run" tale.
The central love story is sweet, awkward, and vaguely sad, while the cinematography and period detail make it an engrossing film even in its slowest stretches. A nice example of unconventional, subdued 1970's filmmaking.
