Reader Reviews This movie took a impeccable dive into the mind of a thief and the work of a thief. If you like psychology, or maybe action intelligence, than this movie is for you. The movie features stealing, a full length display of how it is done, as the camera pans all angles. America meet scarface, Cuba meet Thief. This man stole diamonds, Scarface sold coke. Thief killed his boss, Scarface killed his boss. Thief was a low life and scarface was a low life. They both took their low selves and grew to billions, and then ruined it all in the end. Scarface was a gangster crime lord, and thief was a crime lord. In the end however, Scarface died, as Thief did not. There were a few differences, however, James made an uncanny resemblance to Scarface. What the parallel synthesis, as both stories were amazing. If you liked Scarface, then you may like thief.
