Good Thief

Lower than low budget movie seems shoot with a cheap slr bridge camera.

Story one line seems ok.

But script, dialogues, acting and the execution all gone down the hill. Really bad editing too.

Guy who play danny trying to imitate Christian bale and Matthew McConaughey then turns out complete idiot. His friend johnny is another performer who performs like,a delivery driver who dont want lift heavy items to the second floor.

Its a complete waste of time. Don't want to write more about the rest of the cast and story. Everyone performs worse than the next person.

For an indie movie, I thought it was amazing. The cast fit their roles, and definitely a breakout role for Jimmy Doom. He was the perfect combination of Karl Childers (Sling Blade) and Otis Driftwood (House of 1000 Corpses). It was suspenseful although flat in some scenes, it's actually very Shakespearean; especially how women are portrayed to the lead characters. Although some may suggest simplistic caricatures of certain ones, if you get it, you'll get it and like it. It is dark but no more than May or Repo: the Genetic Opera, it falls in that category of film.

Peter Donahue's character, Danny, borders annoying. But, his depth grows throughout the movie as his calculated and predictable behavior changes to show his capacity for love and emotions towards his sidekick and girl.

Overall, it's definitely something I would watch again, several times.

It's a weird piece-meal of guys trying to make a quick buck and the owner of some vintage baseball cards that's also a serial killer. Not sure who the 'good thief' is...cause they're all pretty poor actors.

After the daily "omicron dose", and looking for something entertaining, I went for the new "Good Thief". Like looking for the Beaujolais Nouveau. And I was not disappointed: the plot, the rythm, the actors (a special mention to the Shakespeare's lightness input). And a technical prouesse when considering the light mini-budget spent on the project.

I hope the producers involved in this film will come up with more offers.

I was excited to watch this movie. The cinematography was excellent, the acting was decent and the soundtrack was well executed. However, 20-30 minutes into it I was becoming increasingly dissapointed.

The writing and dialogue is atrocious. The "flashlight" the "honest man" bit were absolutely absurd. The use of Shakespeare quotes was fine until the dialogue explains that they are Shakespeare quotes. I actually started feeling bad for the actors who had to recite the ridiculously awfull lines.

I really wanted to like this movie, I just couldn't.
