Thick as Thieves Reviews: Discover a hidden gem  2009-08-23 - There are 2 films I like to recommend to others seeking smart, fun, ADULT oriented movies, OUT OF SIGHT and THICK AS THIEVES. While most know about OUT OF SIGHT, THIEVES always surprises them. So far, no one has ever said the film disappointed.
I myself always rue running across it on cable (for awhile, HBO was running it constantly as late-night filler) as I will end up watching at least 20 minutes. Every single role is cast to perfection, especially the smaller ones. But it's the dialogue that truly makes the film. It's a shame there aren't any other Patrick Quinn novels out there to adapt as well as Scott Sanders did with this film.
Lose any blues with this movie!  2007-05-03 - This zany little sleeper is about as feel-good as it gets despite a dash of violence. World class cast! Don't miss this gem!
No socially redeeming qualities whatsoever, thank God  2006-04-25 - I've never seen a movie with dialog so tight it seems like the loss of even one word could ruin the entire film. The plot, though simple, feels almost as carefully shaved as the dialog. (One scene always bugs me though: the size of Mackin's pre-eBay jazz LP collection makes it impossible to believe he never met this record store owner before now.) Other than my stupidity over that one scene, I love every other second of this movie.
If you enjoy Dave Barry, Hunter Thompson, Barry Sonnenfeld, Get Shorty, Snatch, Big Trouble, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Donnie Darko, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Last Supper, then you are sick! And will probably enjoy this warped movie.
A cleverly conceived comedy...  2006-02-16 - I am always delighted to watch a film with no expectations and come out saying, that was both fun and off center. Films such as the Big Labowski (Cohen Brothers) comes to mind...
ok plot - great soundtrack!  2004-03-13 - This movie would be mediocre if it were not for some nice twists to the plot and a good dose of humour. Baldwin is tolerable (well, he isn't completely untolerable like usually). The jazz in this movie provides a cool atmosphere. It is really a shame that the producers of this movie haven't released the soundtrack on cd. I would love to see the music in the film listed somewhere...
