Thick As Thieves (2009) 6/10

Starring : Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas, Radha Mitchell
Director : Mimi Leder
Running Time : 100 mins

Long time thief Keith Ripley (Freeman) recruits rookie thief Gabriel Martin (Banderas) for one final theft of two priceless Faberge eggs from a thief-proof vault in an attempt to pay off his debts to the Russian mob, but Martin has some secrets that he'd rather keep to himself - namely, he's a cop!

In spite of having a very recognisable cast, this was a pretty predictable heist movie. Freeman seemed oddly out of place as the master thief who employs Banderas to help him with his final professional theft, Banderas was weak as the rookie thief, and Mitchell showed little or no charisma as his love interest. On the whole it isn’t surprising that this went straight to video in the UK, but let’s hopes it doesn’t have a negative impact on the careers of the main cast members.
