Thief

“I can see my money is still in your pocket. Money from the yield of my labor. What gratitude? You’re making a huge profit off my work, my risk, my sweat.” Holy fucking shit, HOLY FUCK this movie. I got inspired to watch it after seeing Ryan Coogler pull it in the Criterion Closet and when he said “holy fuck this movie” he wasn’t exaggerating at all, because holy fuck. It feels so perfect that a film about a professional thief also takes a couple shots at capitalism and its inhumane, unfair, and corrupt nature, the exact system that pushes someone like Frank toward extreme choices in the first place.
