Matt Greene I feel like I'm not quite as high on the Newman / Redford movies as I am on the two actors themselves; there's an undeniably natural charisma between them, and that's what really pushes this film forward. Not that this movie is bad. It's not at all. It's quintessential "bad-guys-who-are-actually-good-guys" that's a whole mess of effective cons, a couple of which are being played on the audience.

grantss It is the mid-1930s, the height of the Great Depression. Con men Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) and Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) team up to swindle crime lord Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), a man who wants Hooker dead. They assemble a team and hit upon a plan. What follows is complex and fraught with danger.Superb - the perfect crime-caper movie. Clever, engaging and entertaining. The sting itself is a sight to see, so complex and smart you can't stop concentrating for a moment. Some great sub-plots too. Even when you think they aren't going to go anywhere, ultimately they add a lot to the overall plot.Paul Newman and Robert Redford are perfectly cast in the lead roles. They had, four years earlier, teamed up for the excellent Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and here they reproduce that confidence, swagger and camaraderie.The Sting won the 1974 Best Picture Oscar, plus six other Oscars, including Best Director for George Roy Hill and Best Screenplay for David S Ward.

Sameir Ali The movie begins with an interesting cheating on the street. This was really jaw dropping. This trend continues throughout the movie. In fact, you cannot trust on any person. Anything can be fraud. This makes the movie very interesting. The climax was so superb. Not writing much about the plot, it may spoil your viewing experience.One of the best movies with a lot of twists and turns. The movie is among the top list for no doubt. A well made movie of 70's. Technical perfection is another plus point of the film. It was nominated for 10 Oscars and won 7.A must watch movie. Highly recommended.#KiduMovie
