Entertainment Weekly Rated: A Sep 12, 1999 Full Review Brian Gibson Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) 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. Dec 27, 2013 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 4/5 Jun 11, 2005 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Rated: 3/5 Apr 16, 2004 Full Review Daniel M.

Audience Member premier film avec duvauchelle bonne performance meme si le film est un peu court Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member decent French crime drama Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 ;) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
