Sophie Turner’s New Crime Thriller ‘Steal’ Finds Success on Prime Video

by

Okay, everyone’s talking about Sophie Turner as the new Lara Croft, which is awesome, but I wanted to shout out another show she’s in that’s seriously good! It’s called Steal, and it dropped on Prime Video on January 21st. Right now, it’s the second most popular thing on the platform, only behind Fallout. Seriously, if you’re looking for a good crime thriller, don’t miss it!

Featuring Turner as Zara Dunne, a financial processor, the movie Steal follows a large-scale robbery where she and her close friend are forced to illegally transfer £4 billion in pension money. But this isn’t a simple crime, and Dunne quickly finds herself caught in a complex situation, dealing with both the criminals and investigations from MI5 and the police as she tries to manage the consequences.

Sophie Turner Will Show a Different Side of Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’

Now that her show Steal is a success for Prime Video, Alicia Turner is focusing on her next big role: Lara Croft in a new Tomb Raider series. The series, created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, is being filmed in London and is scheduled to come out in 2027. While people have noted how much Turner resembles Croft, the actress feels that truly capturing the character goes beyond just physical appearance.

She explained to the Los Angeles Times that she wants to focus on the character’s personality and motivations, not just her appearance, which is what many fans focus on. She emphasized wanting to showcase the character’s confidence and competence, saying she openly displays her strengths instead of concealing them.

‘Steal’ Showcases Sophie Turner’s Range as an Actress

Sotiris Nikias’s film, Steal, allows Sophie Turner to demonstrate her acting versatility. While she’s widely known for playing Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, this British crime thriller reveals a different side of her talent. Her role as a tired office worker is a significant change from her work on the HBO series and is a key reason why Steal is successful, highlighting her ability to portray a wide range of emotions.

Reviewers agree, giving Steal an 80% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many praise actor Angus Turner as the best part of the film, with one critic calling it a “career-topping performance” and another from CBR adding to the positive feedback.

Sophie Turner consistently makes bold and smart choices in her acting, and this is particularly evident in this 6-episode series. With the entire story centered around her character, and a potential role in a Tomb Raider reboot ahead, she’s at a pivotal point in her career. The character of Zara could easily have come across as spoiled or unlikeable, but Turner delivers a surprisingly nuanced and engaging performance.

While fans eagerly await the new Tomb Raider movie next year, don’t miss Turner’s current role in Steal. All six episodes are now streaming on Prime Video.
