hyped garbage

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

What can I say a movie with three of my favorite actors, Alec Baldwin, Andre Braugher and Micheal Jai White! This movie was a pleasant surprise. I woke up one night and the TV was still on and just started watching this movie and man I couldn't believe how funny it was! It was well written and moved very well. Besides the main characters in the movies the supporting cast was incredible too. Khandi Alexander, Rebbeca De Mornay, Bruce Geenwood and others! If you get a chance rent the movie from netflix or you local video store, do a search for it on cable and set a reminder for it! Whatever it takes watch this movie! Has a great jazz sound track too. If you like crime movies, where you like the characters even though they are criminals then you will really enjoy this gem of a movie!

I read some good reviews for this movie and I had big expectations. Unfortunately, Thick As Thieves offers nothing special. The story is simple and not original at all. Alec Baldwin is as inexpressive as ever. Vote: 5 out of 10.

A crime lord decides to double-cross a professional thief that the higher-ups in his organization hired for a food stamp heist. Naturally, the professional thief evades the trap, but then decides to get even. As things escalate the cops become more and more interested. So do the chiefs of the organization, who realize that all this unwanted attention is bad for business, and finally find themselves having to arbitrate the situation.This is a well made crime movie. The movie starts with a humorous scene featuring a cameo by Janeane Garofalo where she and Alec Baldwin deadpan some lies to each other. This scene doesn't lead to anywhere, but is very hip.The movie goes pretty fast through its story with plenty of smart, breezy dialogue. As always, Alec Baldwin is good, but is outshown by Michael Jai White and Andre Braugher, who play the crime lord and his top lieutenant respectively. White plays a not so bright but vicious crime lord with upwardly mobile aspirations. Braugher hits just the right notes of dismayed resignation as he contemplates his boss' follies. Rebecca DeMornay also has a great character to play - a hard-boiled police detective who has seen it all but remains a half-step behind the action. There are lots of well-crafted minor characters as well. The sound track also deserves a special note (no pun intended).It you've seen all the Tarantino and Tarantino-esque movies, and are looking for more, this movie would fit the bill.

I borrowed this film of a friend who said it was one of the best he'd seen in a long time,at first i wasn't sure what it would be like due to the fact i'd never heard anything about it,but after watching it i was amazed that it hadn't come out at the cinema,this was a truly good film. The movie has a great script with some memorable lines,as well as a good jazz soundtrack,but also an excellent cast who give some of the best performances i've seen in a long time. Michael Jai White is awesome as Pointy Williams,the smooth black Ghetto Gangster who's trying to become an upmarket buisnessman. Praises must be given to Reginald Ballard who plays the hard hitting Sugar Bear who seems to be the main muscle in Pointies operation.But the best performance of the film must be given to Andre Braugher who plays Dink,a streetwise gangster who knows the score and is Pointies right hand man,he reminds me of Isiah Washington playing Mac in Romeo Must Die. If you watch this then you are guaranteed a good nights entertainment.
