'Once a Thief' is a goofy globetrotting 'Mission Impossible' type Comedy Heist-Movie about three cat burglars but it still crams in plenty of familiar Hong Kong style gun-battles and a great car chase. I was initially a little disappointed that action star Chow Yun Fat's character gets paralyzed but I'd underestimated Director John Woo's ingenuity for wheelchair-based combat! Logic is often thrown out the window and the story gets very sloppy in the 2nd half but I was enjoying myself, so I didn't much care.
John Woo later produced a tv movie remake followed by single 1997 season Canadian series...
I remember it being funny and cheesy but little else....
