The Only Living Pickpocket in New York

Harry is an aging pickpocket who practices his trade with increasingly diminishing returns in a drastically changed New York. Wallets full of cash have made way for easily blockable credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet while caring for his wife Rosie. But one day his luck turns: he steals a mysterious USB drive and sells it for a fortune. However, this precious loot belongs to a ruthless criminal organization that will do anything to get it back. Harry has only a few hours to find the USB drive and bring it back. Commentaar Deze's entertaining crime film is an ode to the genre, to the city of New York, to changing times, and to the wonderful acting talent of John Turturro (The Big Lebowski, Do the Right Thing). Critics are unanimous: it is one of Turturro's best roles ever. Add to that a fantastic ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo) and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) and you know that director Noah Segan has made a gem that no thief could resist. A film thoroughly imbued in a good way with a touch of nostalgia for the analog past, not only with the seasoned pickpocket Harry, but also with the old-school police officer Warren, and perhaps also with the audience.
