      Audience Member Even though it's pure romantic chick flick for your prettier half with a raunchier touch, I can't deny its sophisticated charm, added to irresistible 80s feel. David Caruso is great in supporting role as underlying psychopath. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Efficient thief steals the diary of a woman during a robbery and uses the inside information within as a blueprint for seducing the victim. Extra scenes added for the "Special" Home Video Version which tips the balance from film noir to erotic thriller. Earned a Razzie nomination for Harold Faltemeyer's score, which I thought was very good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review dave j Friday, November 8, 2013 (1984) Thief Of Hearts THRILLER Written and directed by Douglas Day Stewart which is like a less charismatic version of "To Catch A Thief" since the lead star is no Cary Grant centering on Steven Bauer as Scott Muller, a professional thief who happens to fall in love with a high class lady Micky Davis (Barbara Williams) he has already stole from as a result of reading her private diary which was locked in a jewel box. She's an interior decorator and upon meeting him, he tells her he's an owner of a warehouse that sells school supplies. And although she is already married, that doesn't prevent him from trying to break her relationship with her actual husband Ray Davis (John Getz) who writes popular children books for a living even though he has no children of his own. David Caruso also stars as the Scott's shady partner Buddy who at that particular time wasn't a major star yet, and George Wendt also has a small part as Ray Davis's publisher and friend of children books. The movie consists of a plot I've had never seen before but at the same time it also fills the movie with mediocre 1980's music during interaction scenes between Barbara Williams and Steven Bauer. Had this film been heightened might've motivated me to give this film a much higher rating despite the good ending. 2.5 out of 4 stars Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Terribly gaudy, but still pleasing to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is not a masterpiece, just a nice erotic high-concept thriller well worth seeking out. Supporting actor David Caruso, who is magnificently evil early in his career, is a plus. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Very 80s. Our heroine chooses sex then chooses love but can't fully reject her thief lover. Well that is a mess of cliches. Anyway, it was not great but I liked it.
