IMDB

Michel is a writer with no income. He turns to picking pockets to supplement his income and for a thrill. He teams up with a few guys and practices his craft. And he runs from the police.
A short, but excellent movie. It is as emotionless as the main character. That is its strength and weakness, in my opinion. It's clearly intended. Is this a "masterpiece?" I'm not sure. It is quite good and very well worth watching.

8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
