The Best Thief in the World (2004)
Underrated - Underanalyzed
While others disagree, I found the writing to be great and the characters to be more than believable. And while pieces of the film are shocking, to someone truly familiar with today's young people, it's nothing new. It's just strange seeing it on camera.
The film doesn't have a plot, but rather seems more like a documentary - following Izzy (aka Isaac) and his family. I say the film has no plot because it doesn't fully go anywhere, but rather explores the intense strain put on the family. Most specifically, it focuses on how Izzy deals with the world around him. Smart kid, bad crowd, and a mess of a family life. His antics are cries for help, but cries that no one sees or cares about for most of the film.
Overall, well put together and ignored for being unusual. If you let it, this movie will take you on an all too real ride in a screwed up America.
