eil Jordan’s complex, character-driv-
en retelling of Bob Le Flambeur, a
highly regarded 1955 French noir by
Jean Pierre Melville, proves just the right
vehicle for Nick Nolte’s shambling, seedy
film persona. 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.

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.
