Despite some interesting individual moments, when taken as a whole, Seven Thieves is an uneven and (most damning) an uneventful mess. Go to Full Review

James H @RT34422113 12/08/2024 pre-Heat of The Night Steiger, with proto-Misfits Wallach, Collins also right place and right time in her life and career. Crime, Heist-noir at its best. Hard to make this not fun and exciting, but still unexpected elements. I'm not sure what people were expecting? A super, well-done crime-movie that feels shot but also natural, with great dialogue and acting. It's so brilliant, it's elegance of mastery as a final production can easily only go 'partly noticed' as it gets so many elements right.

It is about Theo Wilkins recruits his young protégé Paul Mason to help him rob the famous casino in Monte Carlo of $4 million. Edward G. Robinson and Rod Steiger give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Henry Hathaway did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. Seven Thieves is a must see.

See more 01/07/2012 So the film redeems itself towards the end, this 1960s version of Ocean's Eleven. After a provocative start, it ends with a moral highlight that had been deftly alluded to from the beginning. It even gets deeper and almost tear-jerking. What a twist! See more Read all reviews
