If you loved The Big Swindle, try The Thieves
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Choi Dong-hoon, and they both carry the raw, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Big Swindle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Thieves is
You assemble with a crew of Korean and Hong Kong thieves. You're after a diamond necklace locked in a Macao casino vault, but old grudges surface. Police pressure mounts. Choi directs the action with kinetic grace. The film lingers on the idea that trust is a fragile thing.
