No Sudden Move continues Soderbergh’s strong post-retirement phase and is a winning return to a genre that he has helped to make his own in the past three decades.

Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser and Ray Liotta doing holdups in hats. Joyfully tough from start to finish.

Solomon’s script fully embraces the concept of dishonor among thieves. His story overflows with back-stabs, double-crosses, and an array of criminal hoodwinks. Soderbergh has a blast with it...

A well-acted and impeccably plotted gangster movie.

This is Soderbergh's best film in years, combining his penchant for crime, humor, and critique.

No Sudden Move is far from top-tier Soderbergh, and even he would probably admit that, but it nevertheless glides on an uncommon, refreshingly calm rhythm for its genre.

Steven Soderbergh can make a movie like this in his sleep. But that doesn't make it any less impressive.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Dec 23, 2021

No Sudden Move is a grimly entertaining gem. Very recommended.

It's like trying to assemble a complicated jigsaw puzzle in which you've completely lost interest.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 7, 2021

Praise Soderbergh, and pass the ammunition.

This is a crime thriller with great acting that once again illustrates Steven Soderbergh's mastery of the genre.

This kind of unrelenting bitterness and cynicism may be off-putting to some viewers, but in Soderbergh's hands it goes down like a stiff drink.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Dec 7, 2021

"No Sudden Move" is a remarkably effervescent affair: not so much frothy as high-spirited, even when the story seems to be moving with the studied grace of a mime.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 7, 2021

No Sudden Move is pure, old-fashioned cinema art.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 7, 2021

The intersection of criminal gangs and the American auto industry during the vast freeway expansion boom of the post-war years makes for fascinating bedfellows. And Soderbergh knows how to make the most of it.

"No Sudden Move" is never really unpleasant, although the wide-angled brownness of its photography takes some adjusting to. It's not especially significant or indelible, but it's also consistently fun even when it begins to lose energy.

What starts as an almost domestic story involving a couple of low-rent hoods will gradually morph into a game of high stakes with unlikely players and a plotline that takes its cue from events in the real world full of corporate rather than card sharks.

A story about race and class and hidden pollution.

Full Review | Oct 20, 2021

It's well-crafted and thrilling in a way that feels oddly reassuring.

Slouch back and enjoy the prolific Soderbergh's 35th movie. It might not move you straight away. By the end, though, you'll be buzzing.
