The Good Thief (2003)
A must see first effort.
My Wife and I recently attended a screening of "The Good Thief" in Doylestown, PA, and unlike other features by local directors that we'd seen, we both felt that this was a first rate effort. Director RT Herwig's first feature effort has the style of film noir of the 30's & 40's, a script that gives the audience plenty to think about after they leave the theater, & a strong cast that delivers the goods. Christopher Kadish, looking very much like a round faced DeNiro, gives a most believable performance as Chris, an ex con recently released from prison and trying very hard to straighten out his life. The entire cast makes it look like this is a slice of life that we're looking in on and not a performance, a feeling enhanced by long loving shots and not any quick & jarring cuts. A must see.
