A little hard to follow, especially if you're not familiar with the star-studded cast. But keeping with it you are rewarded with a fresh heist film with unique twists and turns. 8 years 11 months ago -

I'm a big fan of heist movies, and Choi Dong-Hoon's The Thieves is a good one about a Korean crew that goes to Macau (Hong Kong) to join up with a Chinese crew (which includes the always excellent Simon Yam) to steal a precious jewel from a casino hotel guest. While there's plenty of action, the focus is very much on the large cast of characters and their competing agendas, most of them memorable (though I admit losing some of my interest when my very favorite characters were pushed out of the story, I guess that's its own compliment). While I've seen the "types" in other heist movies, turning a good number of them into women (the older con artist, the undercover cop, the maverick safe cracker, etc.) freshens those types up and creates a new dynamic. This isn't an Ocean's Eleven where loyalty is a given, it's very much every man for himself, and the moral is that you can't trust a thief. Clever, fun and involving. 10 years 4 months ago -
