5 Stars! “A tough and intense crime thriller. James Caan gives one of his finest performances.” (Fantastica Daily)

5 Stars! “Thief isn’t just good, it’s freaking brilliant; the best of all Mann’s films…Thief is a masterpiece…Thief is as assured and basically perfect as any first feature has ever been.” (Alternate Ending)

Grade A! “the movie remains as inventive and thoroughly original as ever…With Thief, Mann arrived fully formed, establishing himself with a single feature, as one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation.” (AV Club)

3.5/4 Stars! “one of the most intelligent thrillers I’ve seen. It’s one of those films where you feel the authority right away: This movie knows its characters, knows its story, and knows exactly how it wants to tell us about them.” (Roger Ebert)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
