another great heist film from jean pierre melville, once again showing his love for american noir and gangster movies. the title character is a kind, aging thief and degenerate gambler who plans one last elaborate job, the robbery of the deauville casino. of course everything doesn't go off as planned. an important precursor of french new wave and a very obvious influence on ocean's eleven. remade by neil jordan as the good thief, 2003

I really liked this movie. But I suspect some nuances are lost in translation, it's probably better if you speak french.

This movie is classic. I like it just as much as any type of mob movie. I could never watch it enough times.

Bob le Flambeur is a good, solid noir film. It is will directed, with excellent dialogue, and competent acting. The atmosphere casted by the director with the backdrops of a pleasant by day, sinister by night French town was really excellently played. Overall good film.

MCT:June 3, 2007Spellbinding performances and direction by god Jean-Pierre Melville make of this French masterpiece an exquisite and elegant gem to enjoy to its fullest style. And you thought Ocean's Eleven (2001) was the ultimate and coolest crime film ever...

A great movie on which many other films are based. The last fifteen minutes are intriguing and offer an amazing life lesson. It is worth it to see the beautiful black and white photography of Paris and the lovely Isabelle Corey.

This was the film that the French New Wave said that they themselves wanted to make. It is easy to see why, with its location bound sequences, and Bob the anti-hero gambler who just about doesn't give a damn. This is one of the films that started to get the French cinema back on its feet after a pretty torrid decade after the second world war. It is perhaps the starting point for modern French Cinema. C'est superb!

Well, it wasn't bad. I even enjoyed it a little but as with most older films, I just really can't connect with what is happening onscreen. You know it's all brooding men and demure women. Maybe it's me but they feel a little distant. I'd say if you like old cinema or want to immerse yourself in more of it, then go for it.

Bob as character was stylish but somehow this wasnt that good as I expected (I saw Le samourai before this)
I don't like movies made in the 50's that much, for example the use of music in this one sucks, and the Main woman lead sucks in acting. People then didn't know the possibilites of filmmaking.
