The problems stem from ragged storytelling, a surfeit of silly epigrams and a jangle of accents and cultures that leaves you wondering where Mr. Nolte's strangulated crook fits in. Apr 4, 2018 | Full Review…

The Good Thief is worth seeing, if only for Nolte's turn as the loveable de-toxing rogue. Jan 2, 2018 | Full Review…

While Jordan's repeated freeze-frames try a little too hard for nonchalance, the overall cocktail of Gallic insouciance and American film noir grit delivers such relaxant properties you forgive a few foibles. Jun 24, 2006 | Full Review…

Discount its distinctly casual approach to the mechanics of a multi-million Euro robbery, and it's not bad at all. Jul 25, 2003 | Full Review…

Mr. Jordan has lovingly recreated much of what glittered in the hard French thrillers that once starred Delon and Belmondo, and provided a superbly customized vehicle for the salty charms of ashtray-voiced Nick Nolte. May 1, 2003

A faithful remake, a spirited updating, and a deft, colorful, thoroughly entertaining heist film swimming in character and atmosphere, Neil Jordan's The Good Thief (2002)... may not be his best film, but it is one of his most purely enjoyable. Feb 12, 2016 | Full Review…

Nolte's hard lived, leather-lined face looks like a Muncie road map, and fits robber Bob to each crease. Oct 15, 2004 | Rating: A-

When it comes to movies about one last, high-stakes score, Nolte in The Good Thief pales next to Gene Hackman's low-keyed brilliance in Heist. Jun 23, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Es casi una película hecha por divertimento, lo cual no está nada mal, pero no hay que pedirle mucho más que eso. Jun 22, 2004 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Ao contrário do impecável anti-herói do original, Nick Nolte confere vulnerabilidade ao protagonista e, no processo, leva esta refilmagem a superar a produção de 1955. Apr 2, 2004 | Rating: 4/5
