...kind of literary halfway house for the morally rotten, propping up an entire repertory company of safecrackers, bank robbers, funny-money artists and miscellaneous boodlers after their inevitable job-related mishaps and sending them forth to steal again in novel after novel. His best-known wrongdoer is an amusing burglar named Dortmunder, whose fumble-thumbed approach to grand larceny is that of a tax accountant trying to bolt together a backyard barbecue.

This old-style thriller sometimes creaks in its joints as it adds an amoral aide (Judy Davis), a canny cop (Ed Harris) and a Secret Service agent (Scott Glenn) as weary as the one Clint played in In the Line of Fire. But Eastwood is less interested in political...
