The Art Of The Steal
A third-rate motorcycle daredevil and part-time art thief Crunch Calhoun teams up with his snaky brother Nicky. They come up with a plan to steal a priceless historical book, but the successful heist leads to another far riskier plan devised by Nicky. They fail to realize separate agendas of the other when their plan goes awry in this con movie about honor, revenge and the bonds of brotherhood.

An extremely run-of-the-mill comedic caper...
June 20, 2014
With one contrived plot twist too many the final act descends into a fug of farce stealing the film's early promise.
March 14, 2014
An uneven, mildly amusing, and highly derivative flick featuring a wonderful, quirky cast as a crew of art thieves who run a complex scam on the art world, and on each other.

An appealing cast almost make the difference to this film, a sloppy half-hearted caper that never seems to break sweat.

Director Jonathan Sobol clearly understands the first rule of a good grift: misdirection. He packs his middling caper flick with so many known faces, it's easy to miss all the other familiarities.

There are a handful of actors working today whose mere presence justifies whatever film they are in. Kurt Russell is at the top of a very short list for me, and has been so for decades.

Snappy, clever, broadly comedic and too obvious for words, of which there are many.

Matt Dillon and Kurt Russell may not make the most convincing half-brothers, but "The Art of the Steal" is a fairly amusing heist film with some sibling tension helping the story along.

While neither the smartest nor the funniest film, it does give enough of both to warrant forgiveness.

An entertaining lark.
March 19, 2014
A derivative heist thriller-comedy that passes painlessly enough at a brisk 90 minutes, but ultimately feels as disposable as the numerous counterfeit paintings that exchange hands throughout.

Occasionally charming, yet completely unoriginal, this is dumb fun, no more, no less.
