The Good Thief is a French-British film written and directed by Neil Jordan in 2002 from a screenplay by Jean-Pierre Melville and Auguste Le Breton, remake of Bob le flambeur.

In a last-ditch effort, Bob comes up with a fabulous plan, an exceptional robbery based on not just one, but two burglaries… With Roger, the cop who never lets him down, he puts together a crack team to prepare his greatest trick of all…
