Pickpocket

TO REACH YOU AT LAST, WHAT A STRANGE PATH I HAD TO TAKE.

Michel takes up pickpocketing on a lark and is arrested soon after. His mother dies shortly after his release, and despite the objections of his only friend, Jacques, and his mother's neighbor Jeanne, Michel teams up with a couple of petty thieves in order to improve his craft. With a police inspector keeping an eye on him, Michel also tries to get a straight job, but the temptation to steal is hard to resist.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
