The Art of the Steal

THE ART OF THE STEAL goes down like a good scotch, providing smooth, transient satisfaction with a nice finish. The blend: a washed-up stunt biker/getaway driver (Kurt Russell) assembles the old crew, including his backstabbing brother (Matt Dillon), for one last big heist, while Interpol’s hound (Terence Stamp at his deadpan driest) sniffs at their heels. There will be complications, so pay close attention. Where bigger, flashier flicks (say, NOW YOU SEE ME) tried to mix this froth and failed, this unheralded little find hits the spot. Stick through the credits to chuckle at outtakes. –YSM

    The damn movie disappeared so fast, I didn’t get a chance to see it. Will have to catch on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Sigh.

About Your Sacrificial Moviegoer

We love to sit in the dark with a big tub of popcorn amid a roomful of strangers. Reports on what we witness there come in two varieties: Bullet Reviews quickly and concisely convey our take on a film, always in spoiler-free fashion; Trailer Trash reveals Your Sacrificial Moviegoer's best prediction on whether an upcoming movie is worth seeing, based solely on the trailer (the short "previews" before the feature presentation).
