  THE THIEVES REVIEW

2

• The movie Thieves has a string of memorable and
  original sequences in the movie that can be
  considered as their best asset.  The Korean film
  is more known as thieves despite the title card
  clearly reading The Thieves.  This movie can be
  considered and best compared to its genres it is
  as entertaining and as appealing.
•  
• The setting was just so amusing, beginning with
  an outlandish Seoul art gallery robbery, followed
  by a complex main game in a Macau casino.  The
  most captivating scene was the chase scene down
  the side of a decaying Busan apartment building. 
  You will be most enthralled the series of
  memorable and original sequences.

• Although you can say that this isnt the only one
  on its genre but it was no way derivative, most
  scenes are just truly original.  And again,
  although most reviewers are referring to the film
  as Koreas Oceans 11, that was just maybe to
  capture the gist of the whole movie because it
  falls under the same genre but from the story
  down to the scenes are very unique.Lee
  Jeong-jae, from Il Mare played the role Popeye in
  Thieves, was the head of the team of Korean
  professional criminals that robbed the art
  gallery.  The robbery was the initial scene was
  entertaining and audacious.  Lee Jeong-jae had an
  edgy, tetchy performance that was truly
  believable.  In the movie Popeye strut their
  stuff and provide a reason for them to hide and
  risk getting involved with the dodgy Macau Park
  (Kim Yoon-seok of The Chaser) who left Popeye
  holding the (empty) bag many years before.  To
  add the jumble Popeye also brings Pepsi (Kim
  Hye-soo), which not only ruffles the feathers of
  Anycall (Jeon Ji-hyeon), who is accustomed to
  being the most attractive woman on any heist, but
  also happens to be Macau Parks old flame.

• When the Koreans and the Mandarin-speaking gang
  assembled by Macau jockey for position as the
  crimes A-team the riot continues and added more
  spark to the film.
• We must pay credit for the characterization they
  are distinctive enough to prevent more confusion
  than is actually intended even though with such a
  wide ensemble.  But the great thing about the
  movie is it will still keep you guessing by its
  tricks like who is who is easy enough to track,
  but with multiple strands, operating
  simultaneously in the Macau casino where the
  robbery of the exquisitely named Tear of the
  Sun diamond is to take place, who is doing what
  and why is somewhat trickier to absorb.
• Although there were also parts were the film is a
  bit predictable but it will still surprise you
  like when the double act of Hong Kongs Simon Yam
  and Kim Hae-sook, who both pretend to be Japanese
  high rollers.  The film also provides emotional
  depth not only pure action.
• Thumbs up for the film, can be lined up beside
  Hollywood films.  It wont be the last man on the
  race.
