Stings like a bee - The Sting Reviews

The Sting is a film that has a lot of smarts and a cast that shines with dignity and grace throughout the running time.

One of the best of the 70s - The Sting Reviews

A lot of movies made in the 1970s simply can't stand the test of time, because of a truly messed up culture. You could go to Shakespeare in the Park, and see Hamlet wearing tie-die. Most of the period pieces of the decade used 70s hairstyles and 70s influenced costumes, so you can tell in an instant when the film was made, even if you can't tell what era the film is supposed to be portraying. This film, thankfully, isn't like that. There is an authentic feel of Depression Era Chicago, and a soundtrack straight out of Prohibition. The cast was stellar, beginning with a couple of leading men you may have heard of, Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Both give magnificent performances. The supporting cast was equally impressive. Robert Shaw was quite menacing as an Irish mob boss. My Favorite Martian, Ray Walston, was quite believable as the brains of the operation. Harold Gould was the ultimate smooth talking operator. Robert Earl Jones, (father of James Earl), was very sympathetic as Redford's mentor. And Charles Durning played the corrupt, and slightly bumbling, cop nearly perfectly.

The sting keeps you thinking - The Sting Reviews

In the Sting, a young man seeks revenge because his partner in crime is murdered. He seeks the help of Henry Gondorf and begins to plot a way to make money off the killer. The Sting's ending leaves you thinking, because all through the Sting you should never believe what you see.

A great movie - The Sting Reviews

from begining to end. Loved the way it ends:"Hey kid, what about your share? Nah...i'd just blow it." You can't really appreciate those lines unless you watch the movie.

Not bad... - The Sting Reviews

...but it is just a movie about two con artists back in the 1930s. It doesn't exactly raise awareness about anything relevent. One in a line of films that made Robert Redford a corporation. Interesting thing-the music was by Scott Joplin, a black man who started recording piano rags in the 1890s.

Robert redford and the sting - The Sting Reviews

In reflecting on The Sting I see only Robert Redford with that cocky and very naive smile as he runs through the movie and character and the life of this very entertaining movie with a wonderful soundtrack and smart subtitles between acts. I loved it. Of course Paul Newman was great and quite effective as the senior statesman to Robert Redford's freshman status. Luther was wonderful as the very respected grifter and who I found out was Earl James Jones's father. How about that? It doesn't get better then that. The supporting cast was phenomenal from the little guy reading the ticker tape to the guy with the limp (Robert Shaw). Talk about a work of blooming art!!!
