Thief Of Hearts Reviews
Sensual Repression via the 80s
This is a nostalgic bit of filmmaking from the 80s. The sights and sounds are inimitably 80s. However, this is sort of an enigmatic film. As much as it is part of the 80s it seemed to lack the chic timeliness of those days. I don't know why but David Caruso was the one actor who I remember being indelibly connected to it. Every time I think of this film all I can remember is Caruso's screen presence even though he is a minor yet disquieting character. Steven Bauer is very good and gives a heartfelt performance. Barbara Williams seemed rather detached and added to the obscure feeling this film has along with John Getz's performance as well. Bauer, Williams and Getz remain no more than shadowy figures upon recollection, while the production design, cinematography and story remain imbedded in the psyche. The story is interesting and disturbing at the same time and I wonder who really is the thief of hearts in this tale giving the film's ultimate conclusion. I think Douglas Day Stewart's directed only one other motion picture and he is primarily a screenwriter. The film's ambiguous style seems to bolsters that fact. The film is a very provocative mix of sensuality, sexual repression and seems to represents an era when introverted self gratification and glossy lifestyles replace traditional intimate values between otherwise loved ones. Interestingly, this film seems to have a strange allure about it leaving an indelible impression once viewed.
Thief of Hearts
The movie is great but its not for young viewers under 13 is really pushing it.. the movie has some sexual content and wouldn't even let my 13 year old watch it. Some violence but it has a lesson in the movie also. Crime doesn't pay, and love is blind. Steven Bauer was a hotty, back then ...
