| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere's a movie with a plot spun out of thin air. That doesn't matter, though, because the movie is acted and directed with such style that we have fun slogging through the silliness. And part of the fun comes from watching Tom Selleck, the hero of Magnum, P.I., in a movie that does him justice. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordEven by the standards of escapist entertainment, little of Lassiter seems to matter. |
| EmpireKim NewmanExcept for the success of Three Men and a Baby, (NOT Little Lady), Tom Selleck had great problems making the transition to the big screen. Here is another case in hand with such stereotypical characters as Hutton dominatrix and Hoskins Londoner. |
| User ReviewPatrick LThis little known movie stars Tom Selleck as an American jewel cat thief in pre-World War II London. It's a great movie and has an incredible supporting cast including Bob Hoskins as a police officer doggedly on the title characters trail. Adding beauty to the movie is former Bond girl Jane Seymour as Selleck's girlfriend and the impossibly sexy Lauren Hutton as a Nazi. |

| User ReviewStormythis was an ok heist movie with a humorous tone behind it, but it was also pretty slow moving. the plot was mediocre and light but i was entertained. |
