Someone recommended this movie as a good thriller. I found strange Caan's accent. Where it is supposed to be? Does anyone know? Here is a video of a scene: Thief (1981) Diner scene

Could it be Chicago? It's where the movie happens.

I read a review which said that Caan decided his character would speak without contractions and slowly so as to be understood from the start. Perhaps it is that that I'm not used to.

Good movie.
