Terrific Movie, Great Cast, and Jaw Droping Action...
Get over the subtitle issue and watch this movie. The cast delivers great performances. The story's complexity unfolds wonderfully. I was thoroughly entertained by the stunts and action sequences. Many top notch movies have incredible stunts and action sequences but this movie takes the sequences to a significantly higher level... Watch is and let me know what you think...
Honor Among THIEVES
Caper flicks have been done before. For the record, the French have had a few solid outings. I've yet to see anything significant from the Russians. The Brits can pull them off with surprising aplomb, as can many other production houses throughout the United Kingdom. I would have to say, though, that the United States has put out the lion's share of the truly memorable ones. I couldn't say why that is exactly; maybe it's that I haven't seen enough foreign imports, or maybe it's just that U.S. production companies have a singular knack for taping into that exceptional mix of action and comedic charm needed to pull it off so winningly.
If THE THIEVES is any indication, then South Korea may be set to give the Americans a good run for their money.

Not an Ocean's Eleven remake, less jovial, more gritty
I just watched this movie over the weekend with the wife. I was happy that the movie actually strayed from my Ocean's 11 assumptions going into it. I love Ocean's 11 mind you, but was looking for something that would be more original. This movie was that, definitely some twists on who the villains and good guys are in this movie, as you're watching, you can see where everyone's motivations are and see the situations in different lights.
