    (Korean) The Thieves (2012)



    This is the latest flick from director Dong-Hoon Choi, who previously worked on a fun action/fantasy flick called Woochi (which I highly recommend). A success at the box office in its home country, The Thieves has been described as the Korean Oceans 11, and I have to agree with that statement. Mixing several popular Korean and Chinese actors, the flick follows a group of skilled thieves that plot to steal an expensive jewel from a rich chick at a casino.

    Although not the most original of heist flicks, it still manages to stand out among others thanks to the fact that so many of these characters are enemies and have trust issues, so there's naturally a lot of back-stabbing going on. Sure we've seen it all before, but things play out quite differently here, especially considering how the filmmakers aren't afraid to kill off key people

    Definitely worth a look if you're into heist flicks. 7/10 (but a very high 7)

    Thought it was a great movie - great action, comedic elements, acting, and nice little twists. I have realized, though, that heist movies probably won't be my "thing".

    7/10
