"The Good Thief" is a 2002 film starring Nutsa Kukhianidze and Nick Nolte, directed by Neil Jordan. It is a remake of a famous 1955 French film "Bob le flambeur", by Jean-Pierre Melville.

The film, shot in both Monaco and Nice, France follows a heroin addict/retired thief through the setup and completion of one last job.

Reaction

The film received mostly positive reviews. Critic Roger Ebert notes of Nolte: "it is clear that he was born to play Bob. It is one of those performances that flows unhindered from an actor's deepest instincts." [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20030411/REVIEWS/304110304/1023]

Reviewer Pam Grady, writing for Reel.com, also praised the film: "The Good Thief" has many virtues, beginning with the sheer wit of Jordan's screenplay and Chris Menges's neon-saturated cinematography that renders Nice both beautiful and sinister, trapping the characters in the glare of its lights. The heist itself is a complicated affair — Jordan took Melville's original idea and added a distinctly 21st-century twist — and all the more satisfying for it."
