American Thief

AMERICAN THIEF is a real discovery. This wildly original, truly thrilling film has the immediacy, daring and perspective of only the best cinematic triumphs of recent years-yet it's a true American Indie, shot because it HAD to be. Though it is entirely modest and unpretentious, it is also vital and thrilling. AMERICAN THIEF leads up to an astonishing climax on Election evening 2016. In it you will find both documentary and fiction, the past and the future. It does not wrap itself up in a tight little ball so you can never think of it again-even now that that election night, when it was set and shot is PERHAPS mercifully fading from our lives. Maybe ESPECIALLY so.
