John Santucci, who plays the rough talking corrupt cop Urizzi, served as a technical advisor to Mann in how to crack safes and pull heists (being a Chicago ex-con).
Also, the technical aspects of this film are absolutely riveting. His acting speaks volumes over the one-dimensionality of "American Gangster" that I just reviewed.
In my mind, this was Mann's masterpiece and I love the development and depth of Caan's character Frank. His acting speaks volumes over the one-dimensionality of "American Gangster" that I just I disagree with the people who are saying that "Collateral" and "Heat" are better than "Thief". It's one of the lightest and most unapologetically entertaining movies of Neeson's career, and it may just steal your heart.I disagree with the people who are saying that "Collateral" and "Heat" are better than "Thief". At the helm, director Mark Williams keeps up a decent pace for a trim 99 minutes, and Honest Thief never takes itself too seriously.
(Courtney's one-note bad guy is a weak spot, but he still pulls it off in a brutish, brick-hard way.) The movie's best touch is Jeffrey Donovan as a good, wry, unflappable FBI agent who's inherited his wife's dog in their divorce and ends up bringing the dog on his investigation. Ramos is also appealing as an FBI agent whose conscience catches up with him, and Robert Patrick is likable as a trusting senior FBI man. Walsh is a good match for him, funny and spunky (her character's dire fate is the movie's one sour note). Tom's meet-cute with Annie is as adorable as his snarly line reading of "I'm comin' fer you" is exhilarating. In Honest Thief, Neeson once again capitalizes on the unique blend of lovable everyman and dangerous tough guy that's made him an action star, perhaps not unlike the early days of Charles Bronson. Simple and effective, this action/revenge movie races along on the most basic, primal emotions, and, thanks to the unpretentious performances, is so "honest" that it's easy to forgive its silliness.
