Only Living Pickpocket in New York, The

A send-up of the character-driven crime films of the 70s and 80s, THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK is a charmingly woven story of love and theft powered by a career-best John Turturro.

Harry Lehman (Turturro) is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed New York. Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily cancelled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie (Karina Arroyave). When he unwittingly lifts and sells a valuable USB stick to his fence and closest friend Ben (Steve Buschemi), Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.
