Thieves By Law

Documentary Thieves By Law.



"If God gave me the chances to live my life again," confesses a gangster at the beginning of Alexander Gentelev's Thieves by Law, "I wouldn't change a thing." As the film unfolds, it's not exactly a surprising confession; the film profiles three high rollers in the Russian Mafia, and they do a lot of things in their interviews--tell secrets, show off, point fingers, explain motivations. But there's no apologizing. It's not their style.
