"The Hot Rock" may be Robbery Movie No. 345. But there's as much fun as familiarity in it.

It's a great action film and a blissfully funny one, too.

A crazily funny show with satisfying measures of wit and ingenuity in cunning combination.

"Rock" springs from the tired loins of that overbred formula, the Big Heist. It proves, however, that the right kinds of talent can transform any old formula into something new and different.

A flat, dull, inept movie.

| Jun 23, 2021

An exhilarating conclusion leaves us smiling...

What "The Hot Rock" lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in lively and engaging fun.

| Jun 23, 2021

An inoffensive and untroubling picture which somehow had makings of a much more whlzbang effort.

If you don't come expecting too much, "The Hot Rock" is an entertaining slapstick crime-caper picture suitable for your entire family.

It's a joy to watch.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 23, 2021

This caper movie is not without its flaws, but it boasts a sense of finesse and fun that other films in the genre sadly lack.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 23, 2021

Those seeking something a little more off the beaten path than The Natural or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid should check out this entertaining caper yarn.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 24, 2021

Filmmaker Peter Yates generally does an effective job of capturing the lighthearted yet briskly-paced tone of Westlake's (admittedly superior) novel...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 28, 2020

One enters the theater with great expectations. And one leaves muttering '"Promises, promises.''
