A World without Thieves

A World Without Thieves

The acting, the cinematography, writing, and directing, aside from a few glitches, were good; however, the score was awful.  It bounced between what would be the backing track of the Chinese version of "Days of our Lives" to something you would hear during a fight scene between Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek.   It was so bad that not only was it noticeable, it detracted.

In short, an amazingly oblivious dude befriends/is befriended by two thieves (pick pockets, car thieves, etc) during a train ride to his home village which is far away.  With him is a good deal of money that he has made by restoring a monastery and which is he plans to use to start a life with his new wife who is back home.  The thieves are torn between wanting to EASILY rip him off or use him as the first paver in their road to salvation and forgiveness by protecting him from the other thieves they can see but oblivious dude can't.
