Thief

If you’re a fellow card-carrying member of the Michael Mann-dom, then make your way over to the Belcourt for Thief. Showing as part of both Music City Mondays and the latest Restoration Roundup — and with a new 4K digital restoration approved by the maestro himself — Thief is the Mann ur-text, full of rain-slicked streets, neon nightscapes and competent but socially inept criminals. Thief stars a cool-as-hell James Caan as a professional safecracker named Frank who takes a high-stakes, high-paying gig for the Chicago mob … but the mafia, of course, has more plans for Frank than he realizes. Caan is joined by an inspired collection of grizzled supporting players, including local favorite Willie Nelson in one of his most notable film roles. See belcourt.org for showtimes.

Dec. 1 & 6 at the Belcourt

2102 Belcourt Ave.
