Criterion Thief (1981)



Thief Blu-ray


IMDB - 7.4 ( 11,078 users )

Rotten Tomatoes - 96% ( 26 reviews counted )

Quote:
New digital restoration from a 4K film transfer, approved by director Michael Mann, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
Audio commentary featuring Mann and actor James Caan
New interviews with Mann, Caan, and Johannes Schmoelling of the band Tangerine Dream, which contributed the film’s soundtrack
Trailer
One Blu-ray and one DVD, with all content available in both formats
PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Nick James
Quote:
The revered American auteur Michael Mann burst out of the gate with his bold artistic sensibility fully formed with Thief, his first theatrical feature. James Caan stars, in one of his most riveting performances, as a no-nonsense ex-con safecracker planning to leave the criminal world behind after one final diamond heist, but discovering that escape is not as simple as he hoped. Finding hypnotic beauty in neon and rain-slick streets, sparks and steel, Thief effortlessly established the moody stylishness and tactile approach to action that would define such later iconic entertainments from Mann as Miami Vice, Manhunter, and Heat.

The title I'm most excited about from the January Criterion announcements, and a definite buy for me.

I've never heard of this film but Mann movies are always a blast and I like James Caan as well. It sounds like a hit, and since it's a Criterion release it will look and sound its best.
