Julia Stiles’ character being ‘the only living pickpocket in New York’ instantly grabs our attention and leaves us wanting more.

The extent to which a movie’s title draws focus to itself, and to what effect, is largely a matter of opinion. Nevertheless, it leaves us with a major question. Why is there only one living pickpocket in New York?
