Thieves Like Us is a somewhat meandering yet engaging crime drama from Altman that captures the zeitgeist of the 70s. The film has this loose, improvisational feel, with a pacing that reflects the characters' aimlessness. The chemistry between the leads adds a layer of romantic tension amidst their criminal escapades, which is quite fascinating. You get this gritty yet tender atmosphere, thanks to the practical effects that make the heists feel very grounded. The performances have a natural quality, making each character's journey feel authentic, especially the love story that unfolds in the midst of chaos. It's distinctive for its blending of genres and the way it paints a picture of desperation and desire.
Not your typical heist film.Focuses on character over action.Romantic elements add depth to crime themes.
