Finding Steve McQueen Reviews
It favours scenes of funny interactions between characters, with funny one-liners [...], and Travis Fimmel acting almost as "drunk" as in 'Warcraft'. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2020
Based on the true story of the biggest bank heist in US history, this film takes a sassy approach that keeps things light and amusing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 25, 2020
Ultimately, this stylish and well-shot film has a fantastic pair of leads, a great premise, but absolutely no heart.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2020
Alas, this comedy is a desperately derivative effort, a Seventies heist caper inspired by the true story of a gang who robbed a bank containing what they thought was President Nixon's slush-fund money.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2020
There are just too many strands crammed into the jumbled narrative, giving a false impression that it is a more dynamic and layered film than it actually is.
| Original Score: 2 | Nov 13, 2020
This really is an uneventful film, edited into two time frames to disguise how under-plotted and underwritten it is.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2020
Finding Steve McQueen has elements of high energy and fast-paced editing, and yet for some reason, I didn't find myself slipping as easily into the excitement of a good heist film.

The film is both clever and, if you're a fan of the 1970s, nostalgic.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2019
Though fact-based movies are often guilty of bending truth to improve a story, Finding Steve McQueen goes in the other direction, downplaying strange-but-true elements that might have helped its saggy narrative.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 21, 2019
It's undeniable fun to watch the heist come together. Unfortunately, it doesn't add up to much and the decision to tell the tale in flashback negates some excitement.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2019
... captures the look and feel of the Watergate era, yet fails to generate consistent suspense beneath the surface.
| Mar 16, 2019
This is one very funny rom-com/bank heist.
| Mar 15, 2019
It's too scattered to have much of an impact.
| Mar 15, 2019
It is a great tale, to be sure, but as it turns out, it doesn't necessarily make for a great movie...

Finding Steve McQueen could have used more of the galvanizing spirit of its patron saint, but there's also much to recommend here, in particular its light-hearted energy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 15, 2019
Screenplay's attempt to make something of a hero out of Harry tends to diminish any lasting appeal, going gooey with a crook and a liar.
| Original Score: C- | Mar 15, 2019
Unfortunately, despite the fascinating story that provides its inspiration and a solid cast, the pic provides neither sufficient thrills nor humor to make it anything more than a minor diversion.
| Mar 14, 2019
There was certainly a porch-rocker and beer-sipper of a story to be told with this one and we get that entertainment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2019
[Director Mark Steven Johnson takes] what would have been a rather bland heist story and mix it with a mediocre love story to create an enjoyable final product. It's an example of getting the most out of the material at hand.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 14, 2019
[Finding Steve McQueen tells the story of] one of the most extraordinary robberies in history... although you don't believe it. [Full reviewin Spanish]
