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.

A mostly satisfying entry in the art heist genre.

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

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

It's like they made Ocean's 11, but made it Ocean's 2 and didn't care.

Matt Aselton doesn't break any new ground with his art heist thriller, but he still packages some fast-paced, B-movie fun.

This movie is just pointless. I didn't how it started and how it ended. Terrible movie

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

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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
