Critics Reviews

View All (12) Critics Reviews
Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The jaunty, neo-noirish crime outing "Lying and Stealing" has its moments - chiefly the engaging performances of sexy leads Theo James and Emily Ratajkowski - but is too short on depth and logic to prove much more than a glossy, forgettable trifle. Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com A mostly satisfying entry in the art heist genre. Rated: 3/4 Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times [D]irector and co-writer Matt Aselton has fashioned a slick, cool, mischievously dark and fast-paced B-movie thriller. Rated: 3/4 Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Hunter Lanier Film Threat As far as fakes go, it's not half-bad. But if it has your full attention, it only takes a few moments of eye-squinting and chin-rubbing to recognize it as Dr. Thunder... Rated: 5/10 Nov 11, 2019 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's like they made Ocean's 11, but made it Ocean's 2 and didn't care. Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Andrew Stover Film Inquiry Matt Aselton doesn't break any new ground with his art heist thriller, but he still packages some fast-paced, B-movie fun.

matt m boring, what's the point of the movie, seems like I have seen that storyline a thousand times already (though luckily that's not the case). I do like the main actress though lol Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review stephen k This might have got one full star if we got to see more of that famous model chick getting naked but yeah nah...this movie was horrendous. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is just pointless. I didn't how it started and how it ended. Terrible movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Trama incredibilmente poco originale che condiziona non poco l'andamento del film, che infatti dopo una prima mezz'ora accettabile si spegne lentamente fino a toccare il fondo in un'ultima scena in cui tra recitazione pessima e sceneggiatura scontata non so cosa sia peggio. Comunque in alcuni momenti il pathos creato è buono e questo salva almeno in parte il risultato. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review kerry w Rating: 6|10. 68|100 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In order to pay off his recently deceased father's gambling debts, a talented art thief must steal select art for a local crime figure. Little known actors, writers and director create a very competent crime thriller. This film shows what can be accomplished on a very low budget with a tight script.
