Three Thieves is a 2019 Nigeriancomedythriller film directed by Udoka Oyeka, written by Egbemawei Sammy, Abba Makama and Africa Ukoh[2][3] produced by Trino Motion Pictures. It was released across Cinemas on October 4.
Due to a case of mistaken identity, three dissatisfied friends are contracted to commit a seemingly simple theft. Even worse, the man originally contracted for the job is on the hunt for them.

The official trailer for the film was released on 10 September 2019 and the press screening in Lagos which held on the 12th September, 2019. Three Thieves premiered at the Genesis Cinemas Oniru on 27 September 2019 with guests like Frank Donga and Lasisi Elenu and was released across cinemas on October 4, 2019.[9][10]
Critical receptionedit
Three Thieves received reviews from critics. According to Precious of MamaZeus “If you are ever going to judge anything by its cover or in this case, trailer…. Stop! Retrace those steps as Three Thieves is a Nollywood rarity.”[11] Tha Revue praised the movie production and cinematography which gave the audience pleasant viewing experience. He also highlighted the chemistry and comedy between the three lead characters Koye, Shawn and Frank.[12] Ifeoma Okeke of Business Day Nigeria had this to say as the movie release was approaching. “As Nigerian movies make international recognition, only very few movies have a mix of humor, capture every day to day activity and yet do not losing grip on moral lessons. One such few films are the ‘Three Thieves, which will be out in cinemas on the 4th of October, 2019.”[13] Osa Amadi from Vanguard “It is a creative work of comedy with the intent to keep the ribs of the audience cracking with laughter from beginning to end, and it succeeded in that objective and even more.[14]
