Filmed on rain-slicked Chicagostreets, Thief captures the chilling suspense and human drama of professional crime with incredibly'realistic detailsheist technology straight out of Star Wars and dialog with 'the gutter pungency of a wood-alcohol cocktail (Rolling Stone). Co-starring country superstar Willie Nelson and James Belushi ('saturday Night Live ), 'thief envelops you in its tough, doom-laden grip and never lets go (Newsweek).
Viewer Reviews
Tangerine Dream's score takes this beautifully written and directed film to unimaginable heights. In my opinion, the best electronic composition ever in film, superbly original. The dialogue, the acting, the writing - stunning. It's a shame that not enough people know about this classic directed by Michael Mann. Just about everything he made after is a derivitave of this one. Hands-down, a masterpiece.
