Estimated reading time: 7 minutesMichael Mann’s Thief (1981) is a seminal work in the crime genre, marking the director’s feature film debut and establishing many of the stylistic and thematic hallmarks that would define his career. Starring James Caan in one of his most nuanced performances, the film is a gritty, meticulously crafted exploration of professionalism, alienation, and the cost of the American Dream.
