Thief

Director Michael Mann
Genres Drama
Run time 119 mins Certificate 18

26th June 2011

Despite wearing its era highly on its sleeve (excellent synth soundtrack, lots of moody rain and moody characters, jumps scenes requiring you to make the connections yourself) it is a cut above the average...

...and for Michael Mann fans especially a great preview of stuff like Miami Vice, Collateral and in particular Heat.

...and based on this what happened to James Caan's career....he is really good in this.
