When wistful introvert Alan Furnace meets quick-witted bombshell Beatrice, he has no idea of her secret life as "B. Monkey" -- the top thief-for-hire in London's criminal underworld. Charmed by Furnace's innocent and chivalrous ways, Beatrice resolves to reform. But to cash in on her first chance at real love, she must escape her former partner in crime, the ruthless Paul Neville -- and a dark past that seems to haunt her every step.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
A solidly crafted, entertaining melodrama.

Village Voice by Jessica Winter
B. Monkey is crawling with smart actors saying things they don't quite mean.
76
An entertaining but insubstantial romantic thriller loaded with Euro-chic trappings and no small amount of sex appeal.
50
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
As skilled, resourceful actors, (Argento and Harris) make...a more believable couple than you would have thought possible.
40
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Overall the film is a stylish lark with no resonance, a mean-spirited one-night stand of a movie.
67
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
You may roll your eyes a bit at the glib, transparent, indie-grunge romanticism.
20
Unfortunately, none of the characters -- despite the film's strong cast -- ever seems worthy of the attention.
