Critics Consensus

Finding Steve McQueen's title invites thoughts of old-school action classics, but this energetic heist picture is disappointingly thrill-deficient.

This really is an uneventful film, edited into two time frames to disguise how under-plotted and underwritten it is.

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.

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.

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]

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.

Ultimately, this stylish and well-shot film has a fantastic pair of leads, a great premise, but absolutely no heart.

Brilliant. Not supposed to be thrill filled. Just telling it like it was, well plus the usual dramatization. Great story and very well written. Very good cinematography and visually appealing. Whole cast really convincing in character, strange to see Travis Fimmel in this role, but he absolutely nails it! Enough action, dilemma, intrigue, emotion and suspense.

A fine joyride and even better that it’s a true story. Travis Fimmel puts in a great shift, and is as far removed from Ragnar as you can get. A real feel good film

In the 70's, a dedicated Steve McQueen fan, Harry (Travis Fimmel) takes part in the robbery of a bank in which millions of dollars of illegal contributions to Nixon's campaign have been deposited... Potentially suspenseful heist movie is interspersed with flashbacks and an upside-down love story that fits awkwardly into the rest of the film. Inspirations such as "Bonnie and Clyde" are more than obvious, especially in the visual part, but the movie leaves a lukewarm impression overall. Although, Travis Fimmel is solid as a character who is probably 180 degrees away from his character in "Vikings".

I knew the story of the dishwasher bank robbers before watching this movie, but not the intimate details. I was cracking up all through out the flick at these guys. If you hate constant cursing: my wife, don't watch. It was good through and through: from acting to script. I cannot believe how many Aussie's are in the movies for such a small pop but as my wife says (she is an Aussie) they take the arts serious down under..

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film and could have watched it again, straight away. Great performances with a true, interesting story-line and for me it's iconic.

Non ho apprezzato questa costante commedia ironica anche laddove non ce n'era il bisogno. La storia è interessante e poco nota, eppure non viene raccontata al massimo, proprio per lasciare spazio alle bizzarrie dei protagonisti.
