    this is going to sound racist but the cast is numerous and many of them look so much alike that the story gets confusing. only watch if you're asian.

    The Thieves is less interested in the characters than it is the elaborate stunts and gimmicks.

    A dazzling heist film that can't help but come off as duly influenced by Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy, South Korea's number one box-office champ of all time is never less than clever.

    While the movie's second half feels more consequential - and more impressively action-packed - than its first part, it also loses some of its initial charm and quirk via a protracted, often dizzying descent into a kind of booty-centric game of hot potato.
