Using genuine jewel thieves as technical advisers on the film, these sequences ooze realism, from the tools used, the pre-planning and the execution of the takes, it smacks of reality and does justice to the genuine feel of the characterisations brought alive by the superb cast. Mann's attention to detail is on show straight away, none more so than with the two key safe cracking jobs that are undertaken. Is it any wonder that Frank just wants to settle down with a wife and child, to walk barefooted in the sea, to have domesticity? But Frank, as smart, tough and savvy as he is, seems to thrive on the edge of things, with Mann giving him earthy and honest dialogue to engage us with, marking him out as an identifiable every man protagonist who just happens to be an exceptional thief. Dirty cops everywhere, underworld criminals ruling the roost - Hell! You can even buy a baby if you want one. This part of Chicago stinks, it's a vile and corrupt place.

At nighttime it is all a beautifully neon drenched haze, where the streets shimmer with dampness, a dampness brought about by the rain and god knows what else! By day there's a sweaty hue, a feeling that the heat is well and truly on, that even in daylight Frank isn't safe, his dreams may be a touch too far to reach. Set and filmed in Chicago, Mann, aided by Thorin, shoots the story through pure neo-noir filters. Thief is a film of stylised grit, visually, thematically and narratively.
