Michael Mann directs this stylishly photographed action-packed drama that stars James Caan as a master safe cracker who is planning his last heist for the sake of a woman (Tuesday Weld). Thief (The Criterion Collection) 4K UHD
The contemporary American auteur Michael Mann’s bold artistic sensibility was already fully formed when he burst out of the gate with Thief, his debut feature. James Caan stars, in one of his most riveting performances, as a no-nonsense ex-con professional thief planning to leave the criminal world behind after one last score—but he discovers that escape is not as simple as he’d hoped. Finding hypnotic beauty in neon and rain-slick streets, sparks and steel, Thief effortlessly established the moody stylishness, tactile approach, and drama that would also define such later iconic Mann films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, and The Last of the Mohicans.

Towering masterpiece, a must for Mann lovers
The final shootout scene with Craig Safan’s “Confrontation” (they couldn’t get the rights for Pink Floyd’s “Comfortable Numb”) is one of the greatest things in film.

James Caan’s best performance ever?
Thief begins with the robberies carried out by Frank, who spent 11 years in prison for petty crimes. A misunderstanding causes Frank to take part in major heists on behalf of someone else. Frank wants to start a family without wasting any more time because of the years he lost, so he only accepts 1 job. Then things develop in an unexpected way. Does that sound familiar to you? Mann’s principled robber character, ready for his redemption. Just like De Niro in Heat or Cruise in Collateral. The first great example of this stereotypical narrative from Michael Mann. I love this movie, especially because it broke the lousy robber typology of the 70s. If you like Michael Mann, you should definitely watch this, it’s one of his best.

Masterpiece
The quality of the resolution on this blu ray is absolutely fantastic. The colors of the neon streets and all the teal/blue lighting is absolutely stunning to look at! Fantastic soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, and that final track is beautiful. James Caan has an amazing performance in this film, and the story told throughout is tragic but amazingly told. One of my favorite films from Mann

Underrated, overlooked Mann Gem….
For whatever reason, this movie is under the radar. Caan is great, the movie is great and suspenseful. Mann’s directorial debut. Very nice to have it in the 4K format. Nice little gem all around.
