Thief (1981)

This week on Loaned Out, Mike and Brendan discuss Brendan’s favorite Michael Mann film, Thief, a 1981 American neo-noir action thriller film written and directed by Michael Mann in his feature film debut. Based on the 1975 novel The Home Invaders: Confessions of a Cat Burglar by Frank Hohimer, the film stars James Caan as the titular thief, a professional safecracker trying to escape his life of crime, and Tuesday Weld as his wife. The supporting cast includes James Belushi, Robert Prosky, Dennis Farina, and Willie Nelson. The original musical score was composed and performed by Tangerine Dream.

Featuring criminal tradecraft, career-best performances, and one of the best movie scores of the ’80s.
