The Good Thief DVD Report

The Good Thief is Neil Jordans retelling of John-Pierre Melvilles classic French film Bob le Flambuer.

The junkie-gambler Bob (Nick Nolte) is the titular good thief - a crook and a criminal, but one who draws a distinct line of things he will not do, the classic anti-hero, a gentleman swindler that you would almost forgive for taking your money.

Bob assembles a crack team of thieves and weirdoes to pull off a complicated heist at a casino, stealing art rather than money. Neil Jordan fills the screen with his typical assortment of conflicted souls (and yes, manages to get transsexual in there!). The Good Thief is a good movie, defiantly different, but still interesting!
