Reflections of moonlight shimmering in neonoir splendor, seedy underworld characters living by their own code of honor, unrelenting catand- mouse games between desperate thieves and world-weary cops – it's all here and then some in director Neil Jordan's thrilling remake of Jean-Pierre Melville's classic 1955 caper film Bob le Flambeur. Set in a French Riviera where sunlight is toxic, The Good Thief creates a remarkable atmosphere of conspiracy, romance and danger as its nocturnal denizens of prostitutes, junkies, thieves, con artists and on-lookers provide a classic crime-movie milieu, gorgeously captured by cinematographer Chris Menges. Giving his best performance in years, Nick Nolte revels in seediness as Bob, a verbose, cynical master thief and down-on-his-luck gambler whose fortune may be about to change when he's brought into a scheme to rob a Monte Carlo casino. Luck is fickle, as Bob knows, as does Roger, the hard-boiled cop who's been tipped off and is soon on Bob's every move.
