The Only Living Pickpocket in New York; John Turturro delivers one of his most beautifully understated performances in soulful crime movie: Toronto International Film Festival Review

Technology may have finally achieved what decades of law enforcement couldn’t: put expert pickpocket Harry Lehman out of business. Nobody carries cash anymore. Phones can be tracked.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is a package worth picking up
