There are nuggets of Mann's potential throughout. Signs of a great director in the making. The story is the major flaw. It's pretty stereotypical and doesn't offer much investment with the characters or situations, despite the best efforts of James Caan and the rest of the cast. There's no central focus or urgency to this piece and the heisting is an afterthought. Shame it has to be that way in a movie called 'Thief'. In the end, it's just another crime movie.
