The Only Living Pickpocket in New York
Harry is an old-school hustler. A classic native New Yorker, he moves through life lubricating palms with cash, relying on his wits and connections. But times are changing for Harry. His daily pickpocket take isn’t green bills and wristwatches, it’s credit cards and cell phones. And one unfortunate night, cryptocurrency and a handgun. Powered by the ephemera of a time gone by, Noah Segan’s The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a nostalgic portrait of a small-time career criminal navigating today's digitally networked world. A Sony Pictures Classics release.
