Alright, listen up crew, this is the plan: Steven Soderbergh, king of fast-talking, slickly-edited heist movies, is back on familiar territory with No Sudden Move.

Like the Ocean’s trilogy, the cast is deep and the double-crosses plentiful.

But this time, the movie comes with an unusual look, heavy themes, and a surprise cameo.

We follow Don Cheadle as Curt Goynes, a down-on-his-luck but deceptively bright small-time crook hired for what seems to be a straightforward heist job. When it goes wrong, he finds a complex web of organized crime and industrial espionage in a race-torn 1954 Detroit.

“A group of gangsters, cops, and mistresses go from their asses to their elbows trying to one-up each other, all in the name of cars and capital secrets in 1950s Detroit. But why?” as Shindy put it.

So, do you take the job? Press play to hear our first impressions and top Soderbergh films (03:17), and after our Spoiler Alert (08:55) we unpack:

  • Soderbergh’s cast: The great, the meh, and the underwritten … and a major cameo from the new king of cameos? (20:42)
  • Camera techniques: wide panning shots and fisheye lens (16:10)
  • Faves, hangups, and a MAJOR goof? (27:54)
  • The ending: Bleak or redeeming? Oversimplified exposition or neat? (39:50)

Stream It or Leave It? (42:30)

*Errors & Amplifications: Shindy refers to the lead actor of Hell or High Water as Chris Evans, not the actual lead played by Chris Pine, which apparently even Chris Pine has to clear up quite often.

Bonus: What else we’re watching (44:24)
