Independent distributors Well Go USA have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray the South Korean blockbuster The Thieves (2012). The film has grossed over $82M in South Korea. Currently, it is the most successful film in the country's box office history. Street date is February 12th.
Directed by Choi Dong-hun (Tazza: The High Rollers, Woochi), The Thieves stars Kim Yun-seok (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea), Jun Gianna (My Sassy Girl), Oh Dal-su (Oldboy), Kim Hye-su (Thirst), and Simon Yam (Election). The film's U.S. theatrical release is set for October 12th. A Blu-ray release should appear later on.
It's the score of their lives - if they can pull it off. Five thieves at the top of their game, and the crew is assembling for their biggest job yet. Popie's the muscle and brains, Pepsee's the safecracker, Yenicall climbs walls, Zampano is the strategy man, and Chewingum is the master of disguise. But this new score – it's hot. Maybe too hot. But who can resist the Tear of the Sun: a 318-carat diamond, worth 20 million dollars, and locked away in a casino. The vault is impenetrable, the location covered in cops, and everyone knows there's no honor among thieves - especially not the crew Macao Park, Popie's old partner, has forced their team to work with. As they gear up and stroll into the casino with a plan, skills, and a whole lot of nerve, they quickly learn that avoiding the cops may not be their toughest problem. What's Macao Park's real motive? Who will betray them all? And who will walk away with the diamond?
