Saw it when it came out, and following the lead of a prominent film critic, thought the ending was a fraud and a cheat. Sat through it again to confirm that the director had committed the cardinal sin of lying to the audience. For years I…

The crowd-pleasing 1973 Oscar winner about Depression era confidence men ripping off a mobster stars Robert Redford and Paul Newman, with Robert Shaw as their mark. Directed by George Roy Hill, the story has several twists and turns so…

Classic Caper!! So much fun to watch. There is plenty going on in this movie, so viewers will need to put down their phones and pay attention. A few twist and turns at the end make this such an enjoyable flick.

So much fun. I also hadn't realized how close it was to the revival of ragtime. Love it.

Watched this recently and I could see why it won Best Picture when it was released. This was at a time when twists and turns in movies were not telegraphed a mile away. You deserve to watch this movie at least once to appreciate the best…

After seeing “Hustle” and “Grifters” and even “Rockford Files,” it’s easy to forget that at one point a square job wasn’t aware how a con was run. This is where all the pop culture exposure began. It’s not flashy, but it sure works!

This is a true gem and the ease of watching the actors compared to those in a modern con movie is nothing short of whimsically breathtaking. The grit never feels like it's for show, and it drips with a genuine nostalgia. I may change my…

Great movie.

I have watched this slice of classic seventies cinema, several times, and I, I really just can't find any fault with it whatsoever (?)... Just like 'Dog Day' and 'Cuckoo's Nest', this is a perfect film!... Movies that are this good,…

A fun Newman-Redford 'sting'. Good strong script,plot & acting. 1973. Very enjoyable. PG

GOOD 1973 caper film with fun performances by Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Some of the gangster plot went a little bit over my head - but it was sophisticated and involved a whack mix of both criminal and some delinquent govt workers.

Quite an entertaining film when one watches it for the first time (because in subsequent viewing the plot makes no sense). The music is very annoying - and about fifteen years out of date. The stands of plots and subplots, and the viewers…

This is a nearly perfect caper movie with only a couple of small plot holes that you will discover only after multiple viewings. Two of the actors play their parts with real physical injuries. The heroes play a complex con against…

I was 16 when I first saw this movie. Just the right age to swoon over Redford and Newman (never mind their ages). Also, I'd never heard Scot Joplin music before. After the movie I ran right out and bought the piano book and spent the next…

Loads of fun and a great cast. But i kinda agree with akirakato's comment. The con is too elaborate to be believed. More of a movie within a movie than a caper film. Still a very "entertaining" watch for the poker scene alone. Also the…

After seeing the reference to the film in "Better Call Saul" S1E4, it was fun to see this film again. Incredible attention to detail, really makes this film a success, even we the audience get conned in the end.

During the latter half of the Depression two petty con-artists bite off more than they can chew when they unwittingly steal a sizable sum of cash belonging to a vengeful mobster. After one partner is murdered for his part in the theft, the…

One of the greatest films ever made. There are so many elements to this film that seeing it once is not enough!
