About This Movie

License to Steal is a fascinating blend of action and heist drama, with a distinctive late '80s vibe. Godenzi delivers a compelling performance as the acrobatic thief - her athleticism is quite impressive, especially during the burglary scenes. The film explores themes of betrayal and revenge, with Godenzi's character seeking retribution after being double-crossed by her partner, Aurelio. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as she navigates the criminal underworld upon her release from prison. Notably, the practical effects and stunts have a rawness that adds to the film’s gritty charm, making it stand out amongst other action films of its time. It’s an interesting watch for those who appreciate the nuances of lesser-known action cinema.
