Theft from a Thief

About This Movie

So, 'Theft from a Thief' is this quirky little comedy from '77 that really has its own vibe. The pacing is interesting, balancing between the thief's antics and his quest for revenge against the policeman that nabbed him. There's a certain charm in the practical effects and the way they present the heist sequences – nothing too flashy, but it fits the tone perfectly. The performances have that late '70s energy, a bit over the top at times but that just adds to the fun. It’s not one of those films that gets a ton of attention, but if you enjoy offbeat comedies with a twist of crime, it has its moments that stand out.

This film isn't exactly a staple in most collections, but it does have a certain appeal for those who appreciate '70s comedies. Finding it on a physical format can be a bit tricky – it seems like it was released on VHS and maybe a few obscure DVD compilations, but it’s not common. If you're into offbeat narratives and want something that isn't in everyone's library, this film might just be worth hunting down.
