But for that hour and a half of fluid, kinetic filmmaking, you are putty in the hands of Steven Soderbergh, a reliably pleasurable place to be. The whole thing vanishes pretty quickly from memory once it’s over.
#No sudden move cameo movie
If I had to rank Soderbergh’s crime-themed movies, this one would rank somewhere below Out of Sight and The Limey (what movie wouldn’t?) but above, say, Logan Lucky or the last two movies in the Ocean’s trilogy. but that wont stop us from keeping our fingers crossed for a surprise Clooney cameo. And as should be the case with any good heist thriller, No Sudden Move gets both darker and funnier as the betrayals and double-crosses pile up. No Sudden Move is officially back in production with COVID-19 precautions in place as of September. The cinematography and editing-both by Soderbergh, under his longtime aliases of Peter Andrews and Mary Ann Bernard-are as elegant and nimble as they need to be without getting in the story’s way. If you haven’t seen the Stillwater trailers, Damon plays an oil-rig worker from Oklahoma who goes to Marseille, France to try and exonerate his estranged daughter ( Abigail Breslin) over a murder. Hannah Beachler’s production design is beautifully detailed without being Hollywood-lavish: Detroit’s ongoing project of urban renewal (or as one Black character calls it, “Negro removal”) is established as much through the smart use of locations as through expository dialogue.
Soderbergh drives home the point by shooting several of the more shifty characters from Dutch angles, a classic noir framing that is the visual equivalent of that slightly off-kilter score. The movie opens on a vintage Warner Brothers logo, as if to nod at its resemblance to that studio’s low-budget crime dramas from the period when this movie is set-gritty thrillers like The Enforcer or I Died a Thousand Times. As in a classic film noir, all you really need to know is that everyone is out for themselves and no one can be trusted. The new HBO Max release No Sudden Move further develops his career.
It gets both darker and funnier as the betrayals and double-crosses pile up.īut No Sudden Move isn’t a movie whose pleasures come from understanding every plot detail. All the while, the director has kept his eye on the big picture of who’s hoarding and who really deserves the cash in question.
