As a remake project that has been postponed for many years, "The Thief" is almost forgotten. Therefore, when such a movie that brought together "King" Collin Firth, old lady Cameron Diaz, and "Snape" Alan Rickman and other famous characters turned out, I believe many fans will A small question was raised in my heart, "How could such a movie suddenly come out?" And a closer look at the script of the movie was written by the Coen brothers. The curiosity and admiration instantly dazzled the appetite of many movie fans. As a remake of the classic crime comedy of the same name from the 1960s, it gives people a look at the classic crime comedy like the "Pink Panther" series or the "Four With the feeling of a funny black independent movie like "A Room", "The Thief" is very nostalgic. The performances of Colin Firth and Alan Rickman are very interesting. Firth is so cute and cute. Rickman is calm and rigid, almost making up for Diaz's tepid acting and becoming the biggest attraction of the film. In terms of the story, in fact, the film’s play, the Benben brothers, was completed many years ago, so compared with their works in recent years, the quality of "The Thief" is naturally not comparable, but "The Thief" is still It has the characteristics of the black crime comedy that the Coen brothers were good at in the early days. The absurdity, humor, unexpectedness and cunningness are all reflected in this film, especially the scene of Collin Firth's night visit to the hotel. , People can't help but laugh. Looking at the whole film, there are not many surprises, but it is a story about a stupid thief who found a cowgirl and formed a most unreliable combination to blackmail a rigid entrepreneur. The subject matter is old and the new idea is not enough. Perhaps "The Thief" would have more possibilities if it were produced as scheduled many years ago, but nowadays, in addition to the occasional flash of aura and the excellent acting skills created by the masters, there are things for fans to chew in this film. It's really not much.

Although there is Colin Firth, the film is really boring. The plot is simple. The sparks of the British cute gentleman and the American stupid girl did not rub off. I feel that several big coffees walked through the scene and finished it. It is a pity that my uncle Colin's slender thigh was beaten. Face so many times. But think about this film is a remake of Grandpa Michael Caine, it feels so cute again~

Martin Zaidenweber: [in goofy German accent] The baron's collection is heavily Flemish. Titian, Rubens, all the women so zaftig and heftig.

Martin Zaidenweber: I mean, how many years can you spend looking at the Walloons? Huh?
