Stylish thriller with nuanced protagonist played excellently by James Caan. What pulls the grade down is the lack of excitement. The movie is more of a drama, which is nothing wrong, however, one or two scenes where Frank gets it sweaty when he breaks in wouldn't hurt.

Confident and meticulous. Much more a blueprint for Heat than I expected (with a dash of The Long Goodbye). You gotta love Michael Mann.

Story: 5 Atmosphere: 8 Action: 5 A movie about a badass who doesn't give a damn who like to steal others stuff due to his ability not to cope with his mistakes. Also, he like to drag others to hell with him. Story is meh, action meh. The only sentimental value of this movie that its considered by some the ancestor of the "Neo-noir" genre.

Can't believe I never heard of this until now! It's a real treat, you can't take your eyes off Caan and there are some really creative shots (thinking threatening upside down Prosky amongst others). Super colourful. Thumping soundtrack by the always on fire Tangerine Dream. The finale is a little pat though and don't expect any interesting female characters, it's Michael MANN after all.

A very impressive feature debut from Mann, hinting at elements of his style that we'd see in his later work. It feels very accomplished, bolstered by a strong cast and tidy script. Caan was on great form here, as was Prosky (playing against type, somewhat). The Tangerine Dream score really worked for me as well (they don't always). I'd like to have seen more done with Nelson's character, and perhaps some elements are predictable, but this is well worth watching. Loved that safe-cracking scene...

Ok, I really didn't get this movie. For me Caan is overpowering and unbelievable as the professional safe cracker who is trying to get out of the game. The rest just crumbled around that performance and I struggled to watch it all the way through. I'm still baffled at the generally positive acclaim Thief gets. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

One of the most assured debuts ever, this sees Mann emerge with his visual and musical stylings fully formed. It is both an interesting character study and a badass hardcore crime picture. Mann would return to similar territory later on but for my money he never bettered what he did here. Caan is remarkable, reminding you of just how good he could be and how wasted he has been later on.

Falls just short of greatness the moment a shirtless James Caan runs along the beach in a regrettable lapse into '80s cheese.

You don't just enter the mainstream with a debut so smooth, so competently constructed, and with such an uncomplicated story. It's good to see a boisterous, self-identified "complex" character get his bitching shut down by his boss, it's actually quite relieving. And if we saw him be more emotional, this film wouldn't have been half as good as it already is. What I find funny about the director's cut is that's an extra friend for a whole extra minute
