Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 07/12/2019
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. Go to Full Review

A mostly satisfying entry in the art heist genre. Go to Full Review

[D]irector and co-writer Matt Aselton has fashioned a slick, cool, mischievously dark and fast-paced B-movie thriller. Go to Full Review

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... Go to Full Review
Wade Major FilmWeek (LAist) 10/02/2019
It's like they made Ocean's 11, but made it Ocean's 2 and didn't care. Go to Full Review
Andrew Stover Film Inquiry 08/07/2019
Matt Aselton doesn't break any new ground with his art heist thriller, but he still packages some fast-paced, B-movie fun. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Aug 31 Success in 1 hour and 40 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more matt m 02/15/2023 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 See more stephen k 08/28/2021 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. See more 08/07/2021 This movie is just pointless. I didn't how it started and how it ended. Terrible movie See more 07/20/2021 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. See more 02/20/2021 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. See more Read all reviews
