What to Know

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.

Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle 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. Rated: 4/5 Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk Moore is tremendous; other performances vary perhaps a little more than they are meant to... Rated: 3/5 Feb 25, 2023 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) 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. Rated: 3/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta 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. Jul 24, 2025 Full Review William Stottor The Indiependent 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Tamma Moksha The Hindu 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.

Sabrina M 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review passo m One of the best movie ive watched since long time, twist after twist, zero boring time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/25 Full Review VITALII H Unpredictable ending you'll be surprised. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Pannee K I like the sequence they do to tell the story. Like a Loop that reveal more truth along the way we go. It started at the book shop, and ended at the book shop. And the story right itself in the end. Exceptional casts with a lot of momentum and convincing action. The only thing I like of skeptish of is some unreallistic factor, like a billionaire not background checking someone he dates, or that he doesn't have a way to find some girl who cheated his son. Some of it seems a bit of an accident that can't really be predict that it would end like that? But it still entertaining to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Jerry K. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Great performances, beautifully made. The ending was a bit predictable but it was still a great watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Craig K I really enjoyed this movie. The plot twists were intriguing and it kept you wondering what would happen next. Also, showing the scenes happen in varying chronological order also added to the suspense and plot twists. Well done! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
