      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Anyone who already owns The Killer and Hard-Boiled will undoubtedly still find much to enjoy within Once a Thief. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 13, 2004 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Rated: 4/5 Jan 12, 2004 Full Review Jamie Gillies Apollo Guide Fails to deliver the action goods that John Woo fans want, and his skill with a romantic plot is not very good.

      Jimmy P The twist at the end is sooooooooooooo good!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 6.5/10, my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-2BT Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming but at times overly silly. Occasional bursts of superb action sequences that Woo is famous for. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review camille l Après une petite demi-heure où le film a du mal à réellement démarrer, Les Associés prend sa pleine mesure une fois que le personnage de Chow Yun-Fat s'absente un moment. A son retour, la comédie romantico-policière de John Woo se transforme en un buddy-movie aussi hilarant qu'outrancier, avec des séquences musclées extrêmement bien filmées et des gags d'une bêtise affolante (mais réjouissante). Leslie Cheung, Cherie Chung & Kenneth Tsang sont excellents. Seule la musique a extrêmement mal vieilli. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Once a Thief megnézve. Ez egy viszonylag könnyedebb munkája John Woo-nak, viszont az akciók itt is szépen ki vannak dolgozva. Igazából helyenként picit er?ltetett benne a geg, de simán vállalható film. Viszont a komolyabb akció filmek sokkal jobban állnak a rendez?nek, mint az ilyen akció-vígjátékok. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A boring John Woo film? Considered a Hong Kong action classic, but didn't really do it for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
