Thief . Not the one with james caan

Hong Kong movie

A professional thief tries to break with his past but has to pull off one last job to pay off a gambling debt.

Thieves takes time to build its case. Lovingly remodelling the film sets of the 1924 and 1940 versions of The Thief of Bagdad through the imagined perspectives of Chinese-American actor Anna May Wong and Indian-born American actor Sabu, Williams Gamaker allows these simultaneously exoticised and excluded figures to reclaim and recentre their narratives – refusing a film history built on structural racism to ensure their survival at all costs.

The main character is a nameless boy (Juan Jose Ballesta) who was taught to steal wallets by his absent mother. He is able to do the trick effortlessly, using his "earnings" to survive while he looks for his mom. As he runs into an antique store owner, he might have found a trace that will lead to her. First, however, he will have to pull off a few "jobs" for the store owner, and he can't do it alone: enter a nameless girl (Maria Valverde) who gets to learn all the secret techniques the young boy has been using all his life.

Nick Atwater, the leader of a robbery crew, is balancing his personal life with the planning of a major heist while being targeted by a relentless cop and the Chinese mafia.
