CommentsXp Best movie ever!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

joseignaciomascarualpez Strange the low rating but the film is indeed very interesting, go and see for yourself if you like the kind of movies like RED (retired extremely dangerous)

Prismark10 Even with the acting talents of Kurt Russell, Matt Dillon and Terence Stamp this feels like a low rent and lower budget version of the Ocean 11 type films but with more grittiness and less smugness.Some of the Canadian location shooting helps with the atmosphere. Rusell plays a likable ex con Crunch who has done time in a Polish prison for his brother Nicky (Dillon.) Crunch recruits his old team together including his deceitful brother to forge replicas of valuable historical books that they plan to steal.Jay Baruchel plays the rookie so he gets the exposition along with the audience. Stamp plays an informer forms a comical double act with an uptight Interpol agent who is hell bent on bringing down Crunch and his gang.The film wants to be a stylish caper film like Gambit, with fast action and plenty of quips. Its formulaic and succeeds largely due to the charm of its cast. Anyone who have seen the television series Hustle or Leverage will suspect that there is more to the plot and the denouement is told in alternate flashbacks as we find out who the real mark was all along.

kosmasp What a cast! I have to put that out there first. Matt Dillon, Kurt Russell, but also Terence Stamp (every word he's saying has such a weight and him going for comedy, is so great). Actually everyone involved makes it look so effortless. Heist movies of course might not be everyones thing and people might argue, that after Oceans Eleven (or the sequels), there is nothing left to say.Yes this may be predictable and may or may not make much sense under scrutiny, but it is too fun to watch, twist and turn and go different directions, that it would be a shame for you not to enjoy it. And I can't stress out enough, that this also has a lot to do with the cast involved. The script is good, but you have to have people deliver it. Every role is cast in a great way and this movie makes no secret that it wants to entertain you. It's not as wrangled up as "Now you see me" (which is also better), but it doesn't have to be

Lens Wilke A real gem! This film deserves much higher reviews!The way the film was edited and shot with flashbacks and flash forwards intersecting the current storyline makes The Art of the Steal very engaging. Too many films nowadays throw together big names, action and crude humour without any substance. Art of the Steal managed to do a solid job focusing on the story while feeding the audience bits of information that will come together at the end.The Art of the Steal is a mix of Ocean's Eleven series with Gambit and Incognito (1997). Highly highly recommended
