504868, Thief aka Holy shit that score was horrendous even for the 80's. Posted by jigga, Mon Feb-22-10 12:26 PM
It even won a Razzie
When I wasn't turning the sound down I was very entertained by James Caan's uncanny ability to consistently crack me with his delivery in asking rhetorical questions throughout the film.
"What?...Did someone else just walk in the room & you're talkin to them?"
Only James Caan can deliver a line like this. Reminded me a lot of Robert De Niro in Heat. Noticed a lot of things here that I had seen in many of Mann's later crime flicks. Especially Heat. The cinematography, phone conversations, meets, tough talk, one-liners, bad editing, etc...etc...
All in all not bad but it sorta lost its mojo towards the end.
