the color palette they used to grade this is 100% just a way to make paul newman’s eyes look bluer and the blood on robert redford’s mouth look redder, and you know what? i agree.

KarstenJul 25, 2019"Your boss is quite a card player, Mr Kelly; how does he do it?" "He cheats." (Robert Shaw as Doyle Lonnegan to Robert Redford as Johnny Hooker) THE BEST CON ARTIST MOVIE EVER MADE, WITH BOTH, NEWMAN AND REDFORD ON FIRE
Two CineastsMar 7, 2015And there it is. The Allrounder. The movie that captures and defines every single thing that provides escapism and entertainment. When I was a kid and was learning to play the piano, one of the first things I could play by heart was Joplin's 'The Entertainer'. Hearing…

Pristine narrative and formal economy, so classical it might as well have been actually filmed in 1936.
matt lynchMay 31, 2020paul newman with blood on his shirt: here’s looking at you, kid *winks* robert redford with blood leaking out the sides of his mouth: *smiles* me: *sobs violently*
eelyJul 1, 2020this may be one of the most overused phrases in the book, but I believe it's more than fitting to say that they truly don't make films like this anymore

- Garmelie likedThe Sting
This was a delightful watch. Any questions about how this film won every award in the book evaporated as soon as I saw Newman and Redford together, it is immediately understood that this is just a different class of film. Every sweeping angle of the city is a reminder of how good films can look,…
Ciaran Fourrier likedThe StingOne of the best “long-con” movies out there while intermixed with comedy. I was surprised to be familiar with most of the music in this film, so it kind of helped engage me in the setting and story a bit more. Some of the acting is a bit stiff and some pets move slowly, but solid
Kevin lovedThe StingA terrific film with great comedy that has one of the best duos ever to grace the screen. I had to honour the great Robert Redford by watching what is considered one of his best films. He really had such a presence in every single film he was in, especially in his early days.
- Meg lovedThe Sting
Best Picture Oscar winner 1974 (46th Academy Awards) My Rating: 8.5/10 Nominated for 10 Oscar’s and won 7. You really can’t go wrong with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Loved the whole setup. Robert Shaw is great too. It has some funny moments but some thriller too.
CvptvinHowdy likedThe StingI will admit I wasn't digging this at first, but the twists in the end had me surprised. I didn't find the characters interesting to follow and their setup for the con, even though they're a brilliant cast. It was all worth it, though, for those twists.
Adamiani lovedThe Stingspoiler : i knew that woman whould be that one killer and also when they started shooting each other i was shocked+scared no it shouldnt end like this and after all is good i was calm and happy one of the best movies from my watcheds so far 🔥
- Jim lovedThe Sting
Keeps you on your toes the entire movie. Very clever plot and the way they filmed it was very well done. Gives the audience enough information to understand what’s going on while also keeping some mystery as well.
Quinlan Gray lovedThe StingSuch a fun movie, tons of twists and turns and I never knew what was gonna happen next. Paul Newman and Robert Redford was fantastic and all the set design was great. Not much else to say other than it was great.
Assaf Revacha lovedThe Sting8.6/10 This movie is rhythmic and have a unique style, Paul Newman and Robert Resford are so good and the movie draws you in, but the most iconic part of the movie is the theme song, the entertainer

Metacritic
The Sting is the most purely enjoyable film in Oscar history – and that, I think, puts it in the most valuable American film-making tradition of all.
Andrew Pulver
The Guardian
In an era full of auteur-driven turbulence in Hollywood, The Sting stands out as a model of old-school craft, a richly appointed studio production with big stars and a premium on efficiency and pace.
