Reviews


75
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
A thoroughly enjoyable caper that doesn’t outstay its welcome.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Enjoyable heist pic is more talk than action.
70
Village Voice - Chris Packham
The Art of the Steal doesn't advance the nerdy intertextuality that has distinguished ironic crime films since Guy Ritchie, but writer-director Jonathan Sobol knows the ropes.
67
The A.V. Club - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Buried underneath the movie’s many layers of pulp fluff and knucklehead comedy is a compelling take on why people are drawn to familiar, generic pleasures—self-aware caper comedies, for instance. Perhaps it’s buried too deeply for its own good.
60
Los Angeles Times - Robert Abele
The actors give it punch, but in the grand scheme of caper comedies, The Art of the Steal is more breathlessly imitative than authentic.
