{"product_id":"0043396478176","title":"Once A Thief","description":"For this 1991 action comedy from Hong Kong, director John Woo took a break from his ultraviolent thrillers; it was made a year after \u003ci\u003eBullet in the Head\u003c\/i\u003e, and a year before \u003ci\u003eHard-Boiled\u003c\/i\u003e. Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, and Cherie Chung portray a trio of orphans who have grown to become art thieves. When their foster father (Kenneth Tsang), a powerful crime boss, forces them into stealing a painting, they pull off the job but are double-crossed. To get even, the trio plans a heist to steal the painting back. The three lead characters are funny and romantic; they're daring art thieves in the tradition of \"The Cat\" from \u003ci\u003eTo Catch a Thief\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eThe Pink Panther\u003c\/i\u003e, and the film evokes the same cosmopolitan feel. \u003ci\u003eOnce a Thief\u003c\/i\u003e is far less bloody than Woo's gangster pictures, but in this film, the burglary sequences possess all the astounding grace of his other films' gunfights.","brand":"SONY PICTURES HOME ENTERTAINMT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47089787404528,"sku":"0043396478176","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0043396478176_p0.jpg?v=1763319915","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0043396478176","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
