      william s Fun and fast paced little dramedy that's a fine one time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A clever and funny movie - one of my favorites. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member An amusing morality tale about the pitfalls of being a pretentious cheapskate Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Though ultimately a familiar story, Thick as Thieves departs from the lone assassin archetype and instead makes it more of a buddy criminal movie with a quirky sense of humor. Alec Baldwin is at his usual best, with the rest of the film being made up of familiar character actors. Who doesn't work, however, is Michael Jai White, who was completely over-the-top, and seemingly out of place the entire movie. The film also certainly lacks at character development, we never appreciate the camaraderie or history behind the characters. Still, for all of its going through the motions, it is always watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome awesome jazz soundtrack... the best... late 50's and 60's id say... decent movie for what it is... we liked! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member People seem to get this movie confused with a Morgan Freeman movie called The Code. This one's plot can be a little confusing, but it's your basic crime drama. The movie seems like it was rushed a little in filming.

      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Interesting, well-acted feature debut by a new indie director Rated: B- Jul 26, 2011 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com One of those self-consciously quirky crime films that feel more dated as each passing second brings the film world farther away from Pulp Fiction. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 13, 2004 Full Review Diane Selkirk Apollo Guide Rated: 72/100 Feb 14, 2001 Full Review Read all reviews
