Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) 12/27/2013
Beyond its feral glances, whipping pace, and unlikeable but hypnotically watchable anti-hero (much like the Dardennes' protagonists), The Little Thief's greatest ingenuity is its view of crime as hard work. Go to Full Review

11/28/2010 premier film avec duvauchelle bonne performance meme si le film est un peu court See more 04/14/2009 decent French crime drama See more 01/22/2009 Un film sans pretention mais dur et touchant. Un jeune a l'heure des choix... Le film montre intelligemment que le banditisme ne consiste pas seulement a glaner de l'argent facilement. A eviter par petit moral cependant ;) See more 11/13/2007 This is a film that should be shown to rebellious teenagers. Esse is fed up of being someone's slave and decides to join a gang of petty thieves who initiate him to kickboxing and use him to do little jobs until things escalate. A good moral on how organized crime is far from being glorious especially when you're at the bottom of the ladder and how there are inequalities inside just like the system we live in which at least offers more constructive ways to rebel.
