I too love a good thief movie. I would have given it 5 stars, save all of the racial slurs. I also like the intrigue of getting away with something, powerful women, Chinese mafia, terminal illnesses, loyalty (or lack thereof), and nasty, ungrateful teenagers that we want to beat down. It has feeling of reality to it, shows real-life situations and the endings are not always happy. Hope something else like this comes along again soon ... minus the anti-racial/religious crap.
