Once a Thief 4K Ultra HD brings John Woo’s stylish action-comedy caper to Ultra HD with a new 4K scan from the original camera negative. Blending romance, gunplay and slick Hong Kong energy, the film follows three master thieves raised together as orphans who attempt to leave their criminal past behind after one final art heist.
 
But when a mysterious “cursed” painting enters the picture, loyalties are tested and old rivalries resurface. Packed with Woo’s signature kinetic direction and charismatic performances from Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung, Once a Thief delivers charm, action and melodrama in equal measure.
