Thick As Thieves

Appeared at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival
Alec Baldwin stars as a coolly professional thief who undertakes a vendetta with a pointed message after he is doubled-crossed by a slick gang boss (Michael Jai White). Soon, as violence is answered with violence, an escalating body count brings in the Mafia and homicide detectives. When it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Scott Sanders’s witty, stylish and inventive gangster thriller won praise for its multidimensional characters and colorful supporting cast, and was enthusiastically compared to the writing of Elmore Leonard.
