The Thieves (도둑들) (2012)

Think of this Korean-Hong Kong co-production as an Asian remake of Soderbergh's Ocean's series.

The gimmick here: reintroducing the darker elements of the heist genre while maintaining much of the zany comedy.

Watch for: a blend of the strong suits from Korean comedy and melodrama and Hong Kong action direction.
