Synopsis
The Good Thief (2003) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Neil Jordan. An aging gambler and thief named Bob Montagnet has burned out on the French Riviera, bleeding money at the tables and chasing a morphine habit. To climb back, he lines up one audacious job: rob a Monte Carlo casino.
Nick Nolte carries the whole thing on rumpled charisma. His crew of pros is riddled with snitches, and his old friend and lifelong adversary, Inspector Roger (Tchéky Karyo), is breathing down his neck. Bob, though, has a trick tucked away — there will be two robberies, and which one is the real heist stays murky until the final move. Around him orbit young Anne (Nutsa Kukhianidze), Saïd Taghmaoui, and a sly Emir Kusturica cameo.
This is a loose remake of Jean-Pierre Melville's classic Bob le flambeur. Jordan transplants French noir into the gaudy, faintly narcotic glow of the modern Riviera, leaning on style over adrenaline by deliberate choice. It's a film for anyone who prizes the mood of a heist over its mechanics. Stream The Good Thief (2003) online on iFILM.
