The Sting

The Sting
‘The Sting’ is an interesting plot but it can’t be said that it still feels fresh. Definitely a wholesome entertainment is on its way when we are watching ‘The Sting’ , with couple of sharp twists near end but they don’t leave you in complete surprise as ‘The Usual Suspects’ or ‘Psycho’ does. The plot is an interesting heist double cross story of two con men. In present day, the movie doesn’t live up to all the expectations of a timeless classic. The movie is definitely filled with gags, chases, gun shots and turn arounds and is a great movie considering the fact that this movie was made 32 years back. Recreation of streets of Chicago of 1930 in the movie seemed pretty interesting. There are flawless performances all round to the clever script. Lonnegan (Robert Shaw, ‘Jaws’) is not the only one who gets conned; writer and the director sting the viewer, too.

My Rating:6.5/10
Entertainment Value:80%
