Der Dieb von Monte Carlo (2002)
44KDer Dieb von Monte Carlo: Directed by Neil Jordan. With Nutsa Kukhianidze, Ouassini Embarek, Tchéky Karyo, Marc Lavoine. An aging gambler on a losing streak attempts to rob a casino in Monte Carlo. But someone’s already tipped off the cops before he even makes a move.
“Heist movies are of two kinds: those where the heist is successful and end in some sort of bliss for the robbers (on whose side the viewers always are) and those where it fails and ends up in tragedy. The heist told in this movie belongs to a third kind because in my opinion itu0026#39;s neither successful nor unsuccessful like you will see in the end and understand why I am saying so. Nick Nolte does an excellent job in the role of a middle aged gambler, heister and drug addict who plans a robbery of valuable pictures in a casino in the south of France despite the fact that he is being watched by the police. The heist plan is very original indeed and it is based on a fake heist on one place while the real robbery will take place on another one. The end of the movie is bit confusing while mixing luck at gambling (in a rather unbelievable and unexplained way) with the success or failure of the heist itself. Well but itu0026#39;s a merry movie (except for the only death that occurs there)and Nick Nolte plays his part in a wonderful way.”
