The Good Thief: Review

A shaggy, sun-soaked variation on Jean-Pierre Melville 's glistening Bob le Flambeur, director Neil Jordan 's film runs parallel to the original: Sometimes the two versions are so close they nearly touch, at others they diverge dramatically. Nick Nolte stars as a gambler and a junkie whose luck has gone south and who knows full well he's getting too old to be getting high in barroom toilets. But just as it seems that his luck has finally run out, a redemptive opportunity knocks in the form of an old pal (Tcheky Karyo), a hard-bitten cop with a soft spot for smooth criminals.
