If you loved Blood Simple, try Thief
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Blood Simple, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Thief is
Back-alley neon buzzing, winter 81. A paper sack of cut stones changing hands in a Pontiac’s backseat. A thief trades the drill’s hiss for a house with white pickets. The city hums buy-or-die behind every deal. Like Altman’s California gone wrong, style is the only currency left.
