Once a Thief (1991)
Reviewed by: spinali on 1999-12-08
Summary: NULL
Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, and Cherie Cheung are a trio of high-tech art thieves who do well for themselves until they're double-crossed, first by a client, then by their adoptive father. In an ensuing chase, Chow Yun-Fat is crippled; still, they plan a final caper that could make or break them. A mixed bag -- sunny Mediterranean locales, ingenious robberies, and nail-biting gun-battles alternate with the usual John Woo melodrama and one too many sophomoric jokes. The surprise 'twist' was easy to spot.

(2.5/4)
