The Art of the Steal

What to Know

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.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian An entertaining lark. Rated: 3/5 Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies 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. Rated: 2/5 Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 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. Rated: 2/5 Jun 19, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 3/4 Aug 15, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Certainly has entertaining moments but does not meet demanding expectations. Rated: 2/5 Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Tara Thorne The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Completely fine Canadian heist movie. Apr 11, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It's messy and all over the place, one of the most tasteless con heist I ever watch Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than most heist movies of the same vein. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Niby coś się dzieje, ale to planowane, jak i sama akcja, jakieś nieciekawe. Końcówka ok Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know WTF people wanted from this movie. If you like comic-caper flicks like Snatch and Flypaper - this movie is for you. It's not Citizen Kane nor should it be. This is a fun flick!
