Independent distributors Well Go USA have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray the South Korean blockbuster The Thieves (2012). The film has grossed over $82M in South Korea. Currently, it is the most successful film in the country's box office history.

Directed by Choi Dong-hun (Tazza: The High Rollers, Woochi), The Thieves stars Kim Yun-seok (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea), Jun Gianna (My Sassy Girl), Oh Dal-su (Oldboy), Kim Hye-su (Thirst), and Simon Yam (Election). The film's U.S. theatrical release is set for October 12th. A Blu-ray release should appear later on.

It's the score of their lives - if they can pull it off. Five thieves at the top of their game, and the crew is assembling for their biggest job yet. Popie's the muscle and brains, Pepsee's the safecracker, Yenicall climbs walls, Zampano is the strategy man, and Chewingum is the master of disguise. But this new score – it's hot. Maybe too hot. But who can resist the Tear of the Sun: a 318-carat diamond, worth 20 million dollars, and locked away in a casino. The vault is impenetrable, the location covered in cops, and everyone knows there's no honor among thieves - especially not the crew Macao Park, Popie's old partner, has forced their team to work with. As they gear up and stroll into the casino with a plan, skills, and a whole lot of nerve, they quickly learn that avoiding the cops may not be their toughest problem. What's Macao Park's real motive? Who will betray them all? And who will walk away with the diamond?

Is this like an Ocean's Eleven?

I can't wait to get my hands on this BD and watch it finally.

rickah88 · 01-15-2013, 06:35 PM

$14.99 on Amazon right now.
Thinking about picking this up, as I doubt Netflix is going to get the blu-ray, only the dvd.

Ordered this today. Kinda cool that HK superstar Simon Yam is in a Korean production. Great price as well from Well Go

This one is excellent fun. The lovely ladies are a bonus.

The Great Owl · 01-15-2013, 11:16 PM

I love heist movies, so this one deserves some research. I may not blind-buy, but I am definitely intrigued.

does anyone have a copy yet? does anyone know if it will come with a slipcover?

I said the heck with it and preordered yesterday, $14.99 seems like a pretty good price. I doubt it will come with a slipcover, based on the studio and the picture on Amazon. Obviously I hope I'm wrong!

Every Well-Go-USA title I've purchased had a slipcover along with it, so I'm going to bet this one comes with a slip also.

I might go for a blind buy on this one.

That's good news if it holds true for this release as well, I hope you're right! Off the top of my head I don't think I have any Well Go releases in my collection. I know I've rented plenty from Netflix, all on blu-ray, which is odd this release isn't being carried on BD by them.
Oh well, a slipcover would be a nice little bonus for sure!

Ocean Heaven didn't.

Sky_Captain · 01-18-2013, 06:13 PM

Never mind the slip, I want a cover that actually fits in the case properly.

Autumn Shroud · 01-18-2013, 06:14 PM

Even at $14.99, i am considering passing on this one to get the Korean import with awesome packaging. I haven't seen this film yet, but i'm pretty sure i'll love it, anyway.

I saw that one listed on this site, and agree, it does look pretty nice! I'd be interested to see what that looks like, in hand, when/if you get it!

I know! How hard is it to size the cover art so it actually fits inside the clear portion of the case..
