Episode 115: Thief (1981)

Sawyer Gann

 Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week we are starting a new theme of "Mann Movies" after the prolific director Michael Mann, looking through some of his early hits, starting with his first feature film Thief! 

I knew this film was going to be pretty, but I didn't think it was going to be this substantive too! Style and substance together is a combo for an incredible film and this one didn't disappoint! I gave this film an 8.5/10 for taking what could have been a very trite crime story, and turning it into a beatifully shot character study about the warped american dream.
