Review of Thieves Like Us (1974) by Steve C — 15 Jun 2008
Like one of Altman's other anti-hero classics, "McCabe & Mrs. Miller", "Thieves Like Us" is short on plot and long on atmosphere. The characters' appealing manners and emotions are what make this film what it is. There are no lulls, as Altman sprinkles the drama with some wonderful and raucous humor. And, as with "McCabe," "Thieves Like Us" has an eerie MacBeth-like feel, as the woods circle around Keith Carradine and Shelley Duval toward the ending.
Of course, that ending is spectactular.
