Soderberg returns to the Detroit area, all these years after Out Of Sight, with a tale that feels like Elmore Leonard lite. Small time criminals get involved with what should be a simple heist, that gets twisted and complicated. The cast isSoderberg returns to the Detroit area, all these years after Out Of Sight, with a tale that feels like Elmore Leonard lite. Small time criminals get involved with what should be a simple heist, that gets twisted and complicated. The cast is stellar across the board, with an uncredited cameo that'll put a smile on your face. It's definitely mid level Soderbergh, but the cast pushes this to above average.… Expand

The movie starts off great in the first hour, but completely falls apart in the second hour due to a messy, convoluted plot involving way more characters than it needed.

In a way, I can't help feeling a little trace of disappointment, this because of what the film tries and does not materialize.

No Sudden Move looks good. It has fine actors starring, and above all it has the experienced hand of Steven Soderbergh in the direction, and yet it fails to exceed the average.

No Sudden Move is a story of betrayals, but these are not really outstanding because the mystery created is quite soft.
Complication after complication pile up until they lead to a loose and flabby ending.
There's not a vibrant pulse that makes the film fascinating or more exhilarating.

It's hard for me to find the exact words, but what I'm trying to say is that the film doesn't manage to conjure up enough elements to be more memorable, or at least deliver on what it originally seemed to have promised.

For Soderbergh's filmography it will be a medium film. I have no doubts about it.
Is not bad, but it won't be one that will shine later on.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This "heist" movie made no sense in the end, the Black mob boss let's the guy go, WITH 5k AFTER being out 25k for his initial ineptitude AND 50k to pay off the cops? Why would he do this "deal"? For his notebook? Then why would he let him go? Also, the writers crack said by Cheadle with a sarcastic eyeroll "stein yeah I can see how that's a disadvantage", where this was set in 1950's less than 10 years after 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis. What a weird bit of antisemitism plugged in there at the end. The style of this movie was there, but the substance was garbage.… Expand

On the positive side, it's a top shelf cast delivering solid performances and the film looks good, but you've seen better work from all the actors elsewhere. It's interesting, at first, to try to figure out the puzzling web of characters and their motivations until you learn you can tell the heroes from the bad guys and losers simply by skin color. Easy! Gender too. They even tossed in a couple lesbians, for no apparent reason other than extra virtue signaling by the filmmakers. It makes the whole thing very predictable and self-congratulatory. Ultimately, and in retrospect, a lot of it, especially the ending, is nonsensical, but that's true of so many movies, it's hard to knock this one in particular. But I can knock it for failing to deliver anything interesting, unique, or memorable.… Expand

A really sloppy, incredibly boring heist movie starring and directed by big names. It was really hard to finish this movie, another form of “content” I feel unsure reviewers actually watched.

The ingredients were right but the outcome was dull and a bit puzzling. The characters weren't fleshed out, they were simply picked up and sent off, so it was hard to invest yourself.

Don Cheadle and Benicio del Toro play 2 low-level criminal types in 50’s Detroit. They’re assigned to retrieve a document, but as expected, things go in mis-directions. This cast is nimble with the performances and director Steven SoderbergDon Cheadle and Benicio del Toro play 2 low-level criminal types in 50’s Detroit. They’re assigned to retrieve a document, but as expected, things go in mis-directions. This cast is nimble with the performances and director Steven Soderberg keeps things compelling with a bit of low level tension. Even so, the details of the plot are sometimes muddled. Soderberg chose to use extreme wide angle lenses for his period look, but the distortion can be distracting. Don’t mistake this for a typical gangster flick. This film is about interactions, not violence. It’s obvious that an accomplished artist put this together, because it’s absorbing, even when the payoff isn’t especially gratifying. BTW, Brendan Fraser has dramatically gained weight because he’s ramping up to star as a 600lb recluse in THE WHALE by Darren Aronofsky. Also, Matt Damon has an uncredited role.… Expand

Despite a strong cast, the movie is cluttered and the narrative muddy enough to be incomprehensible in places. Too many moving parts, not enough groundwork for their movements to tell a story.

Well acted but the story ultimately goes nowhere and feels painfully unoriginal. The characters are just too shallow to get behind and there is only so much the talented cast can do.
