The problems stem from ragged storytelling, a surfeit of silly epigrams and a jangle of accents and cultures that leaves you wondering where Mr. Nolte's strangulated crook fits in.

The Good Thief is worth seeing, if only for Nolte's turn as the loveable de-toxing rogue.

A faithful remake, a spirited updating, and a deft, colorful, thoroughly entertaining heist film swimming in character and atmosphere, Neil Jordan's The Good Thief (2002)... may not be his best film, but it is one of his most purely enjoyable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

While Jordan's repeated freeze-frames try a little too hard for nonchalance, the overall cocktail of Gallic insouciance and American film noir grit delivers such relaxant properties you forgive a few foibles.

Nolte's hard lived, leather-lined face looks like a Muncie road map, and fits robber Bob to each crease.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 7, 2004

The best and most enjoyable English-language crime picture since Jackie Brown.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 5, 2004

When it comes to movies about one last, high-stakes score, Nolte in The Good Thief pales next to Gene Hackman's low-keyed brilliance in Heist.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 23, 2004

Es casi una pelcula hecha por divertimento, lo cual no est nada mal, pero no hay que pedirle mucho ms que eso.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 22, 2004

Ao contrrio do impecvel anti-heri do original, Nick Nolte confere vulnerabilidade ao protagonista e, no processo, leva esta refilmagem a superar a produo de 1955.

A fine film: Jordan creates the seedy ambience and Nolte provides the complex performance that together carry this film through a few minor rough patches.

| Original Score: 82/100 | Feb 23, 2004

Watching an actor at the top of his game is a pleasure even if the film is only good, not great.

Outside of Nick Nolte's performance, the rest of the film is a by the numbers heist drama

A heist movie without a thrilling heist is obviously in trouble . . .
