Based on the same book that 'They Live By Night' was, but I enjoyed this version a little more. Both Carradine and Duvall are very likeable. Great overlooked Altman.

I just want to see it because I like the New Order song...But it's supposed to be a good film, isn't it?
I really want to see this, cause Altman directed it and Shelley plays in it. Yay.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Thieves Like Us" !
