The latter one, actually. Per Rotten Tomatoes, Thief -- the Bruckheimer-produced directorial debut of Michael Mann -- was the super producer's best reviewed film, with 19 of the 20 critics curated by the site giving it positive notices.
In second place, the terminally underrated Crimson Tide with an 84 percent Fresh rating. For reference: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (a.k.a. the first one) ranked fifth on the list, a far cry from On Stranger Tides. Not that the blockbuster maven cares about the negative reviews for Pirates 4; the film has already earned $350 million in worldwide grosses.
