Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars THE PERFECT FILM. "THE YIELD OF MY LABOUR!"

This is an amazing powerhouse of a film just so raw and uncomprimising for an 80's picture. EASILY MICHAEL MANN'S BEST FILM that's right you read it correctly. If I could have gave it a billion stars I would have.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Stunning, stylish blueprint for HEAT from Michael Mann

Thief (UK original title: "Violent Streets") is a extremtly stylish, gripping crime thriller from the acclaimed master of the genre - Michael Mann!

Long before his more expansive epics - Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice, Thief was filmed in 1981 and features a strong, memorable central performance from James Caan as Frank - master diamond thief.

An absolute must-see, this film also features a hypnotic, "metallic" electronic score from Tangerine Dream. Five stars? - too right!
