Very unique movie with an older laid back feel. Really good story. I think this movie is very smart and funny. It’s a heist movie in 1920s
Pretty much exactly what I expected and I loved it for it.
A little slow and convoluted. Decent con movie.
classic and much better version of Ocean's Eleven
Well crafted and acted piece of entertainment.
This is one clear instance of lightning-in-a-bottle, in terms of screenwriting, direction, production design and acting.
Slick, outrageous, larger than life. An example of what Hollywood does best.
Great plot twists, it's like an OG of plot twist movies! Ending really suprised me. Great movie!
A classic. Feel like a remake here is needed while Redford could still participate. Classic story with good comedy, action and drama.
I cannot believe how good of a film this is. If you like 20-30’s mob/gangster type movies similar to godfather this is for you.
