Critics Consensus

While it may not be on par with his best crime capers, No Sudden Move finds Soderbergh on entertainingly familiar ground -- and making the most of an excellent cast.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Praise Soderbergh, and pass the ammunition. Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday This is a crime thriller with great acting that once again illustrates Steven Soderbergh's mastery of the genre. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post "No Sudden Move" is a remarkably effervescent affair: not so much frothy as high-spirited, even when the story seems to be moving with the studied grace of a mime. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Christopher Connor The Film Magazine No Sudden Move continues Soderbergh’s strong post-retirement phase and is a winning return to a genre that he has helped to make his own in the past three decades. Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Richard Trenholm CNET Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser and Ray Liotta doing holdups in hats. Joyfully tough from start to finish. Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Solomon’s script fully embraces the concept of dishonor among thieves. His story overflows with back-stabs, double-crosses, and an array of criminal hoodwinks. Soderbergh has a blast with it... Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick L A visually stunning film that gives literal chill, this movie shows Soderbergh at his best since Traffic (2000) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Kyle M There are few convoluting plot points over their relevance that hindered a more polished conclusion to cap misdirected turns, it nonetheless remains solidly entertaining from the talented cast and the overall intellectual handling. (B+) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review James B good acting and good plot slow at times worth seeing for the acting Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Bo S Good story. Lots of twists. Well-done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review mlc_085 It plays out like a stage show screenplay. If you like attention to detail and dialogue, a tightly wound plot that requires reading into subtext and looking for clues, then you will appreciate this. It helps me to keep the closed captioning on to keep track of names and places. Generally a thoroughly enjoyable film noir crime caper with a director who knows what he's doing and a great cast exercising their craft; a welcome dose of humor, and a little social historical relevance, to boot! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review B I really enjoyed this film. 1950s/ Detroit/organized crime... good stuff here Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
