As cash disappears, so do opportunities for old-school pickpockets. Harry Lehman, a principled New York thief with a heart of gold, steals a bag belonging to a crime family heir and unknowingly takes a USB drive. After selling it, he must get it back before his wife Rosie pays the price. A tense, bittersweet thriller in which every New York street grows more dangerous and time ever scarcer.
The fact that we're using less and less cash also has unexpected consequences. Because what's a seasoned pickpocket, who can nimbly snatch a wallet from someone's coat or handbag, meant to do? Harry Lehman, the main character of The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, knows all about it. He's a pickpocket with principles and a heart of gold; almost a Robin Hood. When he steals a holdall from the crown prince of a crime family, he lands himself in trouble. Not because of the guns or the eye-wateringly expensive watch, but because of a USB stick that Harry very quickly offloads. Unfortunately, the family need the USB stick back. If he fails, his wife Rosie will pay the price with a heap of misery. This thriller becomes a race against time, with a wistful undertone that also serves as a portrait of New York City. John Turturro delivers one of his very best performances yet here.
