Once a Thief reviews

Once a Thief holds a 6.9/10 average from 191 TMDB ratings.

John Woo's breezy crowd-pleaser works in fits and starts, though comedy is clearly not his forte. It mostly exists to showcase the beauty and charisma of its stars.

Three orphans grow up to become art thieves under the tutelage of a crime boss. Romance complicates matters when the trio are double-crossed.
