1/31/2023 0 Comments Thief 1981 online free![]() ![]() It is a film with very few obvious flaws, "very few" becoming "practically none" if we consider the original theatrical cut instead of the dubiously-advised director's cut that is the only way to see it on DVD and the immense strengths of the film would be more than enough to outweigh far greater problems than it displays. Thief isn't just good, it's freaking brilliant the best of all Mann's films or else I'll eat my hat (as of this writing, I've seen seven of his twelve features, and thus am taking a little bit out of turn) - and not just the best film of its director's career, but one of the best American films of the whole of the 1980s. Which, if it isn't true that it's really good, that's only because "really good" undersells it something fierce. Michael Mann's first theatrical feature (in the United States, anyhow), Thief, has something of a reputation for being the Mann film that Mann fanciers haven't quite gotten around to seeing even though they know that they ought to, because it's supposed to be really good.
