What Reelgood users are saying

"Thief" is praised for its aesthetic neons, rain-soaked cityscapes, and outstanding cinematography. James Caan's performance is highly acclaimed, as is the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. The film is noted for its deep character study and 80s film-noire style. Some minor technical issues are mentioned.

I let out an audible hell yeah during the final scene of Thief. Michael Mann really nailed it here. The aesthetic neons and rain soaked cityscapes look so good.James Caan is an absolute force and carries every word with such candor. Fear the man with nothing to lose.This may be my favorite heist film.

Caan is great as the titular character and it’s a good movie, though a bit predictable.
