Set in 1954 Detroit, NO SUDDEN MOVE centers on a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. When their plan goes horribly wrong, their search for who hired them -- and for what ultimate purpose -- weaves them through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city.

Critics Consensus

While it may not be on par with his best crime capers, No Sudden Move finds Soderbergh on entertainingly familiar ground -- and making the most of an excellent cast.

3.5/4

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

3.5/4

"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.

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.

4/5

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...

I don't know, the story might have been to complex but not interesting enough to get hooked up.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

What did I just watch? Or didn't cause it lost me after the first half hour. The cast was surprising and good but the plot was lame and it bored me to death.

First: I LOVE Gangster Movies! Second: Here you have some great actors for a decent gangster-movie, from Ray Liotta to Cheadle. But: The film takes long to develop, constantly introduces new characters, which does not make it better, but more convoluted and at the end boring. A boring gangster movie! Now that does not happen often. No surprise that Ray Liotta opted out forever a year later! Goodfellas was movie gold, this is not!

Solderberg at his absolute best. The script had enough dimensions and twists, the performances, particularly by Vheadle and Del Toro presented high authenticity, and the cinematography really made the film pop.
