The Sting remains the definitive con artist comedy: as irresistible and ingenious as the scheme that hooks in Doyle.

Extremely handsome production values and a great supporting cast round out the virtues.

Top-notch entertainment.

As for Newman and Redford, they have developed a form of instant communication. Words are not as important as they way they look at each other. Call it as snow job or call it acting, it is very pleasing to watch.

The film ends up relying on different chapter headings to explain what's going on, but it's all very professional, with fine attention to period detail.

A perfectly calibrated machine designed to be as entertaining as possible in as many ways as possible.

A masterfully smooth grift that's built on golden-age savvy but never feels like a rose-tinted throwback.

The sting itself is as audacious as it is elaborate, but the real pleasure comes from the chemistry between the two leads, the lovingly created 1930s settings and Marvin Hamlisch's inspired reworking of Scott Joplin's music.

Redford and Newman provide the real sting.
October 01, 2008
Newman and Redford pass a few facial expressions between them and try to cool each other out. If there ever was much of a script, it can be said to have gone to waste.

The film is so good-natured, so obviously aware of everything it's up to, even its own picturesque frauds, that I opt to go along with it.
