When a theft goes awry, a veteran pickpocket is sent on a mission through New York to reclaim the stolen goods.
+ MoreWhen a theft goes awry, a veteran pickpocket is sent on a mission through New York to reclaim the stolen goods.
Harry is a classic native New Yorker, an old-school hustler who has moved through life lubricating palms with pickpocket cash since the 1980s. He stays smooth, continually sharpening his skills, but times are changing for Harry. Now it’s 2025, and the daily take from the streets? Fancy trackable phones. Cashless wallets full of credit cards. Gym bags holding cryptocurrency and guns.
The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a nostalgic portrait of a hustler getting lapped by today’s digitally networked world, who now must prepare for the final act of his life. Director Noah Segan’s modern metropolis is powered by the ephemera of a time gone by, with OG street action brought to radiant life by a terrific cast — led by John Turturro’s exceptional turn as Harry. — SF

Noah Segan started his career as a camera assistant, schlepping thousand-foot magazines of film from set to a camera truck. He was fired from a McDonald’s commercial for “eating fries wrong,” but hired by Rian Johnson to act in Brick, beginning a long friendship and working relationship.
