First Review Of The Art Of The Steal on IMDb: A Take On Robbery We Have Never Seen Before.
21 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The Art Of The Steal is a movie you Americans probably never heard of mostly because it is a Canadian film that takes place in Warsaw, Polland and Quebec City and Detroit. The film's main premise is stealing paintings for money.

The main character Crunch is played by Kurt Russell as he returns to his home town after 7 years in a Warsaw Prison. He plans on stealing one of the most valuable books in the world and he gets his old team back together including a few new people.

I was originally going to see We're The Millers, but I went to the first showing of one of the movies that were released and this was playing the earliest so I went.

The movie is a black comedy that is inspired by Oceans 11. The performances are not bad but Terrance Stamp has the best performance in the whole entire movie.

I don't think I have seen a movie about robbing books and paintings before, but this is the first I think I have seen of this but they do a fine job at it.

There is also a OK twist ending to the film.

The Art Of The Steal I think was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is playing now in Canada but I don't know if its playing in the U.S. It was good.
