The Good Thief (2003)
The story doesn't make a whit of sense. How nice, then, that this film's pleasures are mostly to the side of anything heist-related. Spry direction from Neil Jordan and loads of clever dialogue compensate for the broken-backed plot; acting is superb from all parties, especially Nick Nolte. Superficial but entertaining all the same, which makes it essentially a summer movie for the arthouse crowd.
Grade: B-
