Thief [Region 1]

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

The authenticity of the heist dynamics and the relationships between the characters was palpable. I first saw this when it was first released and then now. This film aged well and I enjoyed it even more this time around. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see an intelligent and engaging story that doesn't dwell on graphic violence and really explores the mind of the main character, the thief, as played by a young James Caan.

I used to own the VHS director's cut and loved it. This bluray is perfect.

Great movie! This movie is in the same vein as Heat. James Caan's character and what he does is the primary focus, opposed to Heat's ensemble character focus. They are very similar movies, however.Caan is good in everything he's in, in my opinion. He is believable as a hardened criminal, but you like him, because of his charisma and his skill. Caan pulls you into the movie, when he interacts with the rest of the cast. He gets a big assist from the realism of the story telling and the directing style. I love Michael Mann's work!

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.
