Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
a daffy mix of purposefully bad jokes and often aimless ponderings
Filmcritic.com
At times unbearably objective.

Chicago Reader
Prime Robert Altman, vintage 1974....Scrupulously unglamorous...
Uncut
In many ways, Thieves Like Us is Altman's best work yet, his most stringent and evocative.

TIME Magazine
Rating: 5/5 --
Great Altman film with strong work by Carradine and Duvall.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Never portentous, never a mere spoof, this is a touching, intelligent, and -- in its own small way -- rather wonderful movie.

Time Out
[A] gem. Anchored by Carradine and Duvall's romance and full of Altman's typical aural flourishes... -- Grade: A-

Product Description:
Director Robert Altman's historical crime picture follows the exploits of Bowie, an escaped convict who becomes romantically involved with Keechie, a naive farmer's daughter. Bowie has broken out of a Mississippi prison farm with two other criminals--Chicamaw, who is part Indian, and T-Dub, an over-the-hill bank robber with a bad leg. The three take Keechie, whose father helped with their getaway, along with them. They embark on a crime spree, passing through a series of small Midwestern towns, until fate inevitably catches up with them.
