We Take John Turturro for Granted

This film centers around a group of older, experienced criminals. John Turturro stars as Harry, a skilled pickpocket who makes a living by stealing wallets and bags. Steve Buscemi plays Ben, the pawnshop owner who helps Harry sell the stolen goods, and Giancarlo Esposito is Warren, a detective who used to chase guys like Harry but now considers him a helpful acquaintance – someone who’s great at identifying people in photos. The movie has a lighthearted yet nostalgic feel. It begins by following a businessman getting ready for work, commuting, and attending meetings, only for him to realize his wallet is missing during a fancy lunch. The scene immediately cuts to Harry at a diner, discovering the man only uses cards – a sign that cash and traditional theft are becoming a thing of the past.
