Dope Thief
Philadelphia rowhouses and police insignia, degraded until the badge and the disguise become hard to tell apart.
Dope Thief opens with a main title sequence of 72 seconds.
At 72 seconds, it opens well above the 47-second median for crime sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Apple TV+ in 2025, when Mythic Quest, Chief of War and Down Cemetery Road were also on the network.
