Critics Consensus

Although it never comes close to the classic capers it seeks to emulate, Sharper is just sleek and clever enough to pass the time.

4/5

While Sharper’s genius resides in its ability to successfully outwit its audience, at no point does it feel laboured or in the least predictable.

Moore is tremendous; other performances vary perhaps a little more than they are meant to...

3/4

A fun watch with friends and family or a solo evening’s light diversion, the kind you replay the next day in your head to see how it all fits together.

The structure that’s kept you guessing, leaving hints of the truth in its wake, weakly sputters out into a third act that, despite the film’s attempts at obscuring the truth, feels simultaneously unearned and foreseeable from a mile away.

3/5

Sharper doesn’t fizzle out—far from it—but its conclusion ultimately feels indicative of the film as a whole: slick, clever, well-executed, but just a little too safe.

Told from multiple points of view, the low-brow twists and non-linear narrative in this tale of deceit and manipulation — with the rules changing every few minutes — leave us disappointed.

Absolutely amazing! The entire cast rocked it. The way the movie went back and forth was so interesting. Kept you on your toes the entire time. Sebastian goes between devilishly charming to bratty and he does both so well.

Uma bosta que tinha potencial de ser um bom filme, porém se perdeu e nunca mais se achou!

I saw every plot twist coming a mile away. Felt old, predictable and one implausible scene after another. The opening scene is really well done, but all down hill from there. For me, much of it was laugh out loud ridiculous. John Lithgow was oddly cast. You could tell he had no idea what to do with this character.
