Review of The Thieves (2012) by Mandy L — 08 Mar 2014
Simply put: Overdone. If only the film had been less sophisticated and unbelievably twisted, all the funs and well-choreographed actions would have resulted in a much more interesting and involving piece of entertainment.
The superior quality of Tazza in comparison with this film is a proof that a talent director and an ok concept may not ensure the success of a project if the film is overloaded with characters and too many ambitious story-lines.
If only Johnnie To could be in charge of this film, we could have had (supposedly) a true black comedy/heist film out of this mess.
