(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1   2/4 "There's a nagging simplicity to Jordan's screenplay keeping the pivotal heist...from capturing the imagination."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers B- "[Nolte] could not be cast more perfectly."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "The South of France has rarely looked so grim and inviting as it does in Neil Jordan's new film, The Good Thief."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 82/100 "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."   Cinemania   Dan Jardine 3/4 "...mostly entertaining, if completely forgettable."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "... like a great jazzy remake of an elegant old song."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor C "The Irish filmmaker takes Melville's Gallic masterpiece about a gallant Montmartre gambler and makes it into an ordinary American neo-noir film set in the French Riviera."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/5 "Es casi una película hecha por divertimento, lo cual no está nada mal, pero no hay que pedirle mucho más que eso."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "Though the movie is not spectacular, it is effective enough to warrant watching it, and pays off well enough to justify the attention it requires."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "The Good Thief is spry, quirky, morose, entertaining, tedious, slow, loose and quotable. In a word: it's uneven."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B "An easygoing charmer...The point isn't the plot, but the people and the style. And in this respect 'The Good Thief' succeeds nicely."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "The Good Thief is a stylized heist film with an accomplished performance by Nick Nolte that celebrates the whimsical moves of Lady Luck in the lives of those who have nothing to lose."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "It is a decidedly mixed bag."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "A heist movie without a thrilling heist is obviously in trouble . . ."   Movie Gurus   James O'Ehley 3/5 "Neil Jordan/Nick Nolte caper flick is full of European charm, American swagger and far more style than substance."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/5 "Playing a down and out American expatriate gambler, strung out on heroin in the early going and planning his Last Great Heist by the film’s midpoint, Nolte gives another effortlessly honest performance."   ToxicUniverse.com   Jeremiah Kipp 6.5/10 "It has enough going for it to earn a recommendation."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "An enjoyable watch for anyone looking to score some 'Nolte' for the night."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "If you're into crime capers, this one is above average."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 6/10 "Practically entertaining, assuming you're interested in seeing a slightly more indie, slightly more international, slightly less fun version of Ocean's 11."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/5 "A shaggy, sun-soaked variation on the glistening Bob Le Flambeur."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "[Stretches] like a sleek black cat in the sun, [and] it pounces with all the stealth and surprise of that cat, too."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4.5/5 "The film had a natural rhythm that was almost musical."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/5 "Few actors will command my butt into a theater seat like Nolte does, and his latest should prove a huge treat to those who feel the same."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg D "(Nolte) was knocking at death’s door but paused long enough ... for a police department mug shot. Who knew his next picture could be worse?"   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 8/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 4/5 Read review   Filmcritic.com   Jeremiah Kipp 7/10 Read review   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1
