Leave your thoughts about No Sudden Move.
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoNo Sudden Move is like watching a musician return to the themes and ideas explored throughout a career but with the renewed insight that comes after decades of success. |
| Vanity FairCassie da CostaWith Soderbergh and his collaborators, you can never complain that great thespian skills were left to wander, or that you were bored. I’m not sure that I ever really knew what was going on in No Sudden Move—something about redlining, pollution, and the American auto industry—but I was never taken out of the moment. Each beat pulsed with both anticipation and absurdity. If that’s not movie magic, then, well, it depends on what you think movie magic is. |
| The PlaylistJason BaileyThe complexity of the plotting overwhelms the picture a bit, which gets a little fuzzy in the middle – but it eventually forcefully snaps into focus, mostly by finding its spine in the simple notion that this is a movie about people under pressure. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangThe result is a ride that feels smooth and bumpy in all the right places. You are pulled along by the seductive glide of Soderbergh’s filmmaking, by the jazzy riffs of David Holmes’ score and the suavity of the camerawork, only to be jolted into high alertness by the nasty, bloody surprises in Solomon’s script. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanNo Sudden Move could also refer to the snail’s pace of social change. But race is just a subtext — albeit an enriching one — in a piece of entertainment that feels like watching, say, Ocean’s 11, but with a social conscience. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s yet another instantly immersive, richly layered and beautifully shot chapter in one of the most impressive directing careers of our time. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrNo Sudden Move is a terrific movie — an unflashy near-masterpiece of professionalism on both sides of the camera. |
| ABC NewsPeter TraversSet in 1954 Detroit, Soderbergh’s terrific, twisty, film-noir throwback keeps a lot of racial, political and sexual tension simmering under the surface, providing a field day for actors who interact with clockwork precision and off-the-wall laughs. |
| PolygonJoshua RiveraIt starts as a crime caper, makes a pit stop among the sitdowns and power-jockeying of gangster films, and somehow manages to tie its many disparate threads together in a period drama about the destruction of an American city. It’s all the more dazzling that it does all this while being slickly entertaining and assured |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternIt’s another Soderbergh film whose allure is sure to endure. |
