Thieves, The
South Korea 2012, 135 minutes
Dir. Dong-hun Choi
In Korean, Cantonese
, Japanese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure / Heist
Aroview: This slickly engineered Korean blockbuster (the second highest earning in the country's box office history) plays all the right cards in its elaborate and multifarious take on the heist genre.
Of particular note is the film's over-sized Pan-Asian cast, a melting pot of cultural mistrust that entertainingly mines the hostility between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean nationals for plot tension and conflict.

2 stars (Good Try) Starts of well but the photogenic cast fail to maintain interest over two hours with a familiar story line. ~Tubbs
2 stars (Good Try) Felt like it was trying to be Oceans 11. Way too much exposition, & utterly gratuitous not-really-sex-scenes. I stopped watching after 20 minutes. ~Truant
