Splashy action in overseas locations is mixed with double-dealings and multiple betrayals as a gang of South Korean thieves team up with a Hong Kong crew to steal a diamond necklace from a heavily guarded casino safe in Macau. With over 12.9 million ticket sales, the action comedy is currently the fourth highest grossing movie in Korean film history. == Plot == Posing as mother and daughter, two professional thieves — middle-aged Chewing Gum (Kim Hae-sook) and young cat burglar Yenicall (Jun Ji-hyun) — rob the wealthy owner of Leesung Gallery (Shin Ha-kyun) of a rare artifact he bought from notorious Chinese fence Wei Hong (Ki Gook-seo). The theft is organized by team leader Popie (Lee Jung-jae), helped by his associate Zampano (Kim Soo-hyun). The next day they are visited by a police detective (Ju Jin-mo) who is hot on Popie's trail. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Chinese veteran thief Chen (Simon Yam), along with Jonny (Derek Tsang) and Korean-Chinese Andrew (Oh Dal-su), are robbing a jewelry shop. Afterwards, they are joined by Julie (Angelica Lee), the daughter of a professional safecracker. To escape the heat at home, the Koreans join Chen's gang in Hong Kong for a heist led by South Korean master thief Macao Park (Kim Yoon-seok), who was once Popie's boss. Park's plan is to steal the Tear of the Sun diamond, worth , which was stolen during an exhibition in Tokyo and is now in the possession of Madame Tiffany (Yeh Soo-jung), the Japanese mistress of Wei Hong, who is coming to Macau to visit a casino. Popie has brought along safecracker Pepsee (Kim Hye-soo), just released on parole, but Park is unhappy with her joining the team, as they once had a relationship that ended badly four years earlier. Park intends to sell the diamond back to Wei Hong for — a risky venture as Wei Hong, whose face has rarely been seen, is known for murdering anyone who crosses him. Each of the thieves has a separate agenda and, when the robbery finally takes place in Macau, little goes according to plan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Thieves」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
