   Is the Book Thief a good book?

   • The Book Thief mixes British actors using German accents, a few German actors, and the occasional German word, creating a playfully successful illusion of German-ness. The story is tragic and captivating at the same time. Nélisse and Rush are outstanding. Page 1 of 4, 7 total items. Maybe more than one version I ve been entertained with two .

   Is 'Thief' based on a true story?

   • The fence that Robert Prosky brilliantly portrays was based on a real criminal in Chicago who ran crews of thieves. In this sense, "Thief" reminds me of "The French Connection", because in that film, Eddie Egan played Gene Hackman's police chief, whereas Hackman was actually portraying Egan in that film.
