Synopsis
A World Without Thieves (2004) is Feng Xiaogang's Chinese crime drama, available to watch online on iFILM. A pair of seasoned thieves crosses paths with a country innocent hauling his life savings in cash — no guard, no caution.
Wang Bo and Wang Li (Andy Lau and Rene Liu) make their living lifting wallets and running cons, until a young carpenter named Sha Gen (Wang Baoqiang) throws them off balance. He's heading home with every yuan he earned and honestly believes thieves don't exist. Li decides to protect his money, even as a whole pickpocket crew works the same train under a cold-eyed pro played by Ge You.
Feng is one of China's biggest box-office directors, and here he folds a train-bound thriller into something closer to a parable about conscience and trust. The film was a major hit across mid-2000s China and carries Feng's signature blend of comedy and melancholy. If you like Asian crime with a soft heart underneath, this one's for you.
