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

Hitchcoc For a while, one needs a scorecard to keep track of all the players. As Redford and Neuman light up the screen, we have an incredible intertwining of characters and motivations playing off each other, leading to the final con. What works is that we have a simple motivation that sets it all up. That is the murder of a friend. All else is directed at that central issue. Soon, the masters of the Sting begin to set up the dominoes, They match bad guys against bad guys, create artificial settings, maneuver things in an orchestrated way. Not everything works perfectly. There are some unexpected pitfalls, including a near-fatal mistake, but the beauty is that these villains are almost excited to be separated from their money. One of the really bright spots of the 1970's.

l-52311 Typically older movies like this aren't my thing. It's something to do with the whole 'good guy bad guy' thing. It's a little too much in the wrong way for me. Now, I'm not saying it was a bad movie or anything because I feel i did enjoy it in many parts. I feel it just need to be short and sweet. Instead it was dragged out and sort of repeating the same plot the whole movie. Another thing that bothers me about these movies is how under developed we were back in that time. I just think of how the females are lesser and seen as like romantic pawns in these movies. It make me a little uncomfortable. But all in all this movie wasn't the worst. However, I don't think i would seek it out to watch on my own.

Fella_shibby I remember seeing this movie during the mid 80s. Saw this few years back on a rented DVD. Enjoyed it. One of my fav movie. It is a perfectly paced movie. One of the best heist film. The film paid proper attention to details from the setting, to how characters talked, to what they wore. The music was good. It's a great balance between comedy and drama. The movie is exciting and very entertaining. The acting was simply perfect. Robert Redford and Paul Newman gave lovely performances. The cast is so rich with Redford, Newman, Shaw, Walston, Gould, Durning, Brennan... Direction by George Roy Hill was flawless. But I still love his previous work, Butch Cassidy.... Awesome job by David S. Ward as a writer. It has one of the best screenplay. The story has enough twists n the character development is superb. I was rooting for the gang to succeed in the heist. The villain was convincing in being nasty, smileless n a crooked fella who needed to be looted. The twist and turns is great and the film is almost perfect.
