The Art of the Steal has quite a few funny moments, but it
comes off as staged and gimmicky, and I felt more cheated by the ending than
impressed.
Online reviews were mixed for The Art of the Steal, but I
like Jay Baruchel, I don't mind Kurt Russell, and it looked like it might be
funny. The style was too "gimmicky." I didn't like all the
"x-ray" shots of things inside of things, or all the times the names
of people's roles popped up. It felt
really light. It didn't go in-depth into anything. It was like an unsatisfying
episode of White Collar.
