Once A Thief Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

Director: John Woo

Legendary action director John Woo combines high-stakes heists, explosive action and effortless charm in Once a Thief, a stylish crime caper starring three of Hong Kong cinema's most beloved stars: Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung.

Raised together as orphaned street thieves in Hong Kong, Joe, Jim and Cherie have become an elite team of international art thieves. Fresh from a successful robbery on the French Riviera, they plan one final score: stealing a priceless painting said to carry a deadly curse. But when their former mentor, the ruthless triad boss Mr. Chow, betrays them, the trio find themselves drawn into a dangerous game of deception, revenge and survival.

Blending Woo's trademark action choreography with comedy, romance and heartfelt friendship, Once a Thief showcases a different side of the celebrated filmmaker while retaining all the excitement and energy that made him famous. Featuring spectacular stunt work by legendary French stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne, this thrilling and entertaining adventure stands among the most enjoyable films in Woo's remarkable career.
