Michael Mann’s confident debut feature is a slick 80s neo-noir, neon-soaked and infused with Tangerine Dream’s electronic score. James Caan is at the height of his powers as the charismatic Frank, a professional safecracker who just wants one shot at a normal life — a dream that remains frustratingly out of reach. Equal parts heist thriller and existential tragedy, THIEF remains a stylish crime classic. [AD]
