I just watched the movie The Good Thief on friday. I have to say, despite me not being a huge Nick Nolte fan, I really enjoyed this movie. It is sort of on the same line as Ocean’s Eleven, however in terms of cinematography, acting, and direction, I found this to be a far more gratifying movie. I always feel that Hollywood movies has such a “slickness” level to them that they never leave you as satisfied as watching a good indie film.
The soundtrack for this movie was also really great. One song in particular was really catchy, called Parisien du Nord, and is a hip hop version of this song by Cheb Mami (you can sample it here ). He is a well know Algerian artist (singing in the style of Rai). Listen to it if you get a chance.
