Nolte has burnished this late middle-age has-been in recent films, includ- ing Paul Schrader’s Affliction, for which he won the Academy Award, and Alan Rudolph’s last good film, Afterglow. Nolte’s character, Bob Montagnet, has seen better days. Ravaged by heavy heroin use and financially ruined by compulsive gambling, old Bob looks to be on his last legs. But early in the film, Bob saves the life of father’s friend long ago. Paulo falls in love with Anne, of course. When Bob runs into a heist idea he cannot pass over, he comes back to his flat, handcuffs himself to the bed, and detoxes. Paulo and Anne take care of Bob during the worst of his withdrawal, but she is disgusted by him. You get the sense that Bob’s been down this path before, too. It’s a challenging act to pull off credibly, and Nolte and Jordan don’t make anything about it look glamorous. When he’s sober and well, Bob starts plan- ning the daring robbery of a well-fortified Monte Carlo casino on the night of the Grand Prix. The casino’s big attraction is the won- derful paintings that hang on its walls, which include original Picassos. Well, not quite orig- inals. The originals, it turns out, are kept in a safe in another place; the pictures on the wall are fakes. This gives Bob the idea of planning two heists: A fake heist that will draw all the attention, while the real one goes after the originals. ... just the right vehicle for Nick Nolte’s shambling , seedy film persona.

DADDY DAY CARE (PG) FINDING NEMO* (G) ©2003 (1245 345) 645 950 Roger (Tcheky Karyo), a cop with whom he has an ambivalent relationship. Roger has tailed Bob for years, hoping to keep him straight. These guys like one another, so Roger warns him that another conviction puts him away for the rest of his life. Bob’s moral center, buried deep within his hulking exterior, is awakened by the plight of a lovely young Eastern European immigrant named Anne (Nutsa Kukhianidze). Like many other girls, Anne has been lured to the French Riviera by a dirty club owner, Remi (Marc Lavoine). Remi’s a good looking rogue with ties to the Russian Mafia. Bob sees that Anne’s headed for prostitution, so he forcibly intervenes. He gives Anne a safe place to stay but will not sleep with her, which makes him more attractive to her, of course. They are actually very well suited for one another, but not as lovers. Bob shares the house with Paulo (Said Taghmaoui, Three Kings). Paulo’s a young guy who looks up to Bob, because he was his Among the crew are Anne, Paulo and Vladimer (filmmaker Emir Kusturica). Vladimer is a weird dude, a security software mastermind — every film needs one nowa- days — who calls himself the “stratocaster.” Also in on the heist is Raoul (Gerard Darmon), who’s been Bob’s partner in thiev- ery for years. The inside guy, Said (Ouassini Embarek), is a disgruntled former dealer. And there’s Philppa (Sarah Bridges), a bulked-up transsexual who hates spiders, and the twins, Bertram (Mike Polish) and Albert (Mark Polish), who fill an important slot in the plan. The Good Thief is a great deal brainier than The Italian Job, which is lighter and flashier. Nolte is fabulous, and Kukhianidze is a real find. It’s great to see Jordan, this multi- talented Irish filmmaker, reinvent this hoary heist film. Outstanding work by cinematogra- pher Chris Menges and the gritty vocals of Leonard Cohen on “A Thousand Kisses Deep” add to the pleasure. Very highly rec- ommended. ew
