Critics Consensus

While it may not be on par with his best crime capers, No Sudden Move finds Soderbergh on entertainingly familiar ground -- and making the most of an excellent cast.

Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Praise Soderbergh, and pass the ammunition. Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday This is a crime thriller with great acting that once again illustrates Steven Soderbergh's mastery of the genre. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post "No Sudden Move" is a remarkably effervescent affair: not so much frothy as high-spirited, even when the story seems to be moving with the studied grace of a mime. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 7, 2021 Full Review Christopher Connor The Film Magazine No Sudden Move continues Soderbergh’s strong post-retirement phase and is a winning return to a genre that he has helped to make his own in the past three decades. Aug 8, 2023 Full Review Richard Trenholm CNET Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser and Ray Liotta doing holdups in hats. Joyfully tough from start to finish. Mar 31, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Solomon’s script fully embraces the concept of dishonor among thieves. His story overflows with back-stabs, double-crosses, and an array of criminal hoodwinks. Soderbergh has a blast with it... Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jordan Y No Sudden Move never really moves. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Sal D Solderberg at his absolute best. The script had enough dimensions and twists, the performances, particularly by Vheadle and Del Toro presented high authenticity, and the cinematography really made the film pop. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Brian T Decent in the "who will have the last trick up their sleeve" way, and okay performances, but nothing to write home about for the most part. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Nick L A visually stunning film that gives literal chill, this movie shows Soderbergh at his best since Traffic (2000) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Kyle M There are few convoluting plot points over their relevance that hindered a more polished conclusion to cap misdirected turns, it nonetheless remains solidly entertaining from the talented cast and the overall intellectual handling. (B+) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review James B good acting and good plot slow at times worth seeing for the acting Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
