The Art of the Steal is a fun, entertaining ride that puts more emphasis on the beauty of priceless art than its price tag—a refreshing notion for the heist genre.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 15, 2022

Certainly has entertaining moments but does not meet demanding expectations.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2019

Completely fine Canadian heist movie.

If you like art history and want to discover and learn about one of the most impressive private collections of post-impressionism and modern art on the planet, you cannot miss the history of the Barnes Foundation... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 15, 2018

By all means this is a B-movie, topped up with cheap has-beens...

| Nov 18, 2017

An extremely run-of-the-mill comedic caper...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 19, 2017

While neither the smartest nor the funniest film, it does give enough of both to warrant forgiveness.

| Original Score: B | Jun 27, 2016

With one contrived plot twist too many the final act descends into a fug of farce stealing the film's early promise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 20, 2014

Occasionally charming, yet completely unoriginal, this is dumb fun, no more, no less.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 20, 2014

An appealing cast almost make the difference to this film, a sloppy half-hearted caper that never seems to break sweat.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2014

An entertaining lark.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2014

There's little that's unfamiliar about director Jonathan Sobol's switchbacking caper so he winningly cashes in on the strength of his cast, particularly Russell's world-weary con and a scene-stealing Stamp as the languidly insolent Brit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Unsuccessfully marries the slick-suited jargoning of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy with the gloves-off double-dealing of Guy Ritchie's early oeuvre.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Sobol ... borrows widely and unfashionably from the Guy Ritchie stylebook: he's either missed the trend by ten years or pre-empted the revival by 20.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon are short-changed by a script with a clever denouement that comes at the expense of the rest of the action, which is so self-consciously cool and vacuous, it's practically freeze-dried.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2014

The strenuous presentation might remind you of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, but the boisterous script has some legitimately amusing moments along the way ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 16, 2014

Kurt Russell returns in this blithely unambitious caper flick.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 16, 2014

In the end, alas, it's the viewer who will leave feeling conned.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2014

"The Art of the Steal" won't trick audiences into thinking they've seen anything new, but it's just clever enough to keep them distracted from realizing that they haven't.

| Apr 21, 2014

There's only a moderate level of humor and suspense in this formulaic caper comedy that seems to borrow from a few genre predecessors.
