![Thick As Thieves (Aka The Code) [DVD]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F91dEo8kIbaL.jpg&w=3840&q=75)


Heist thriller starring Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman. Heavily in debt to the Russian mob, a veteran criminal (Freeman) decides to recruit a novice thief (Banderas) to help him steal two famous Faberge eggs from an impenetrable vault. Radha Mitchell co-stars as the temptress who comes between the partners in crime. Review: Good movie, worth watching. - Good, fast past paced film. Clever plot twist. Morgan Freeman at his classic best, ably supported by Antonio Banderas. Review: Daft but enjoyable - I’m pretty sure that when someone changed this film’s title from ‘The Code’ to THICK AS THIEVES they didn’t intend to trigger the association with ‘as thick as trees’. Unfortunately, that’s immediately what sprang to mind. Still, Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas in a heist movie. Can’t be too bad, surely? And no, it’s not too bad. It’s smirkingly silly and deeply derivative, borrowing every single cliché from earlier crime-capers. Think ‘Thomas Crown’ meets ‘Mission Impossible’ with the Russian mob thrown in, and then subtract all semblance of intelligence. The biggest mystery is how Tom Hardy appears so young. It was only filmed in 2009 but he looks to be about 15. Innocuous amusement. I really rather enjoyed it… 7/10

Minor role for Tom Hardy
A great film for many reasons but don't expect much of Tom Hardy, he plays a minor role. Didn't expect it to be so good.

Entertaining enough
The plot is a bit predictable, but good acting from Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman.

Don't expect much...
Very poor character development and even more cliche plot. Not to mention the safe was designed by a 12 year old...Not even Morgan Freeman can prop up a poor movie script.

セクシーなアントニオバンデラスに紳士で味のあるモーガンフリーマンの組合せに満足な私ですがストーリーも大変面白くもう一度見たい!と視点を変えてリピートしてしまう内容だと思います。t.A.T.u.の歌もカッコいいです!

Ein Spanender Film in Super Besetzung. Den Film kann man gut öfters sehen und es wird nicht Langweilig, weil man immer was neues beim sehen entdekt.

Una película estupenda de acción con un desenlace inesperado, magistralmente interpretada en sus principales papeles por: Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas, Radha Mitchel, Robert Forster y Rade Serbedzija.

Bon film avec 2 très bon acteurs en la personne de Morgan Freeman et Antonio Banderas, ce dernier devenu rare (Au box office) en tout cas!
