Review by Library Journal Review

Ex-cons out for one final score rise above that heist-film cliche in this pair of movies. Jules Dassin's Rififi focuses more on methodology, highlighted by a half-hour, dialog-free safe-cracking scene. In his feature-film debut, Michael Mann (Manhunter; Heat) aims Thief toward character study, with a go-it-alone robber (James Caan) obsessed with having an ideal family life reluctantly financed by one big job for Da Man. Fatalistic endings wrap up both crime thrillers, offering the sort of trappings genre fans will appreciate. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
