The Good Thief Ratings & Reviews
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The problems stem from ragged storytelling, a surfeit of silly epigrams and a jangle of accents and cultures that leaves you wondering where Mr. Nolte's strangulated crook fits in.
Observer
Rex Reed
Mr. Jordan has lovingly recreated much of what glittered in the hard French thrillers that once starred Delon and Belmondo, and provided a superbly customized vehicle for the salty charms of ashtray-voiced Nick Nolte.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Great fun despite its deficiency as a presumed thriller.
Arizona Republic
Richard Nilsen
It's a heist film with a muddled plot, a character study with no personality.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Rumpled and dissolute, Nolte shambles through this gracefully atmospheric crime film with a cool poignancy that verges on the comic.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
With his haggard good looks and bearish presence, Nolte is the main event in this colorful three-ring circus of a heist picture.
Slate
David Edelstein
This is a movie for which you want to give an award to the casting director, Susie Figgis.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's a sticky-suave erotic portrait of a man swaggering his way to the bottom of the proverbial barrel.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
The heist is the story's spine, the melody. But what's really interesting are the solo flights that branch off and the filigrees that embellish it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Blurry, opiated, jagged with melancholy and stone cold beautiful.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Nolte is perfectly cast as this charming loser. The problem is, he knows it.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
Jordan delivers easily his most satisfying work since 1992's The Crying Game.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[T]here probably isn't another actor in the world better suited to play a substance-abusing, world-weary charmer than Nick Nolte.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
There's not much to remember a few days later, but it's eye candy of a very high order.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
To the extent that it's a rhapsody on the theme of Nick Nolte, The Good Thief has considerable charm.
Denver Post
Vic Vogler
Jordan's approach assumes a certain intelligence, and attentiveness, in his audience, but his joyride through the French Riviera always keeps us belted in.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
[Nolte] is magnificent -- ravaged, desperate, aware.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Whether or not Nolte topped up every day on the set, it is clear that he was born to play Bob.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Although there's enough of a good time in The Good Thief to merit half a thumb's up, Melville's film remains the original and Jordan's version very much an over-exuberant replica.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Nolte is not only made for the role, he's also rehearsed it in real life.
