Two Line Reviews - #152

Movie: The Sting (1973)


Plot: A small-time conman wants to avenge the murder of his partner by conning the person behind his friend's killing who happens to be a rich banker. For his revenge, he seeks help from a big-time conman and with their immaculate planning calls for an interesting viewing.

Highlights:
  • An enthralling screenplay explaining in detail the con-work of the con-men, the way they set the trap for their target!
  • Paul Newman's effortless acting and the Brad Pitt-like Robert Redford's supporting role.
  • Some interesting twists thrown around here and there.
Lowlights:
The reason for taking such a huge risk seems not worthy enough.

My Rating: 9.2/10
