Critics Consensus

It boasts a terrific cast led by the always-watchable Kurt Russell and Terence Stamp, but The Art of the Steal wastes its stars on a formulaic plot that borrows too obviously from superior heist pictures.

An entertaining lark.

Unsuccessfully marries the slick-suited jargoning of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy with the gloves-off double-dealing of Guy Ritchie's early oeuvre.

Sobol ... borrows widely and unfashionably from the Guy Ritchie stylebook: he's either missed the trend by ten years or pre-empted the revival by 20.

The Art of the Steal is a fun, entertaining ride that puts more emphasis on the beauty of priceless art than its price tag—a refreshing notion for the heist genre.

Certainly has entertaining moments but does not meet demanding expectations.

Really just does not land on any level. Horrible acting, horrible accents (just hire a French/Irish actor) - but nothing would save the writing. I’m quite surprised it even has 46%, don’t waste your time, plenty of fun, well-written capers out there.
