I like heist movies, once they were making great ones, but not anymore. I have heard about this, though haven't seen it till now. Seems it's a decent film, but came at the wrong time of the history. You know, the same film 15-20 years ago would have made a better impact among people, as well as commercially. Nowadays, the youngsters want only superhero action-sci-fi films. That should not be the reason for a film's failure. Instead, they should have improved it in lots of areas. But still I liked a few things from it, like the information about mixing the real art with the fake ones, but still it remains as the real.The film is about two half-brothers. They are the art thieves and they have done many jobs together, but in their final one, one of them betrays. So the rest of the narration sets in a few years later when they join hands for another big art heist sidelining their differences. They form a big team and this time they are watchful over each other. Now comes the final act where the actual event takes place and with a twist the story comes to an end.An enjoyable film, little funny and had some good moments, But overall film was predictable, including the twist. Could be the director's best film so far. Kurt Russell was just okay, but expected a lot. The rest of the cast in this multi-starrer, does not look good, though contributed. Maybe the film characters were weaker than the story. They should have focused more on them to progress it, so it would have achieved the success they were looking for than what a few people praising it. I think it's okay for a watch with the low expectation.6/10

This was a fun and funny twist on the perennial heist theme! I enjoyed the performances of Russel and Dillon particularly. This was a lot funnier than your standard heist movie. Kurt Russel is always classic as the vulgar ex-con. The two funniest characters were Francie and Uncle Paddy. My favorite segment was when Guy was telling the story of the theft of Mona Lisa, it was a fun segment with an entertaining way of telling it. I like how it was fast paced and funny, it kept the laughs coming while keeping the pace moving. One of the funniest bits was when Russel was like "No, I'm being held at gunpoint by a pirate! I'm in the bathroom, what do think Francie?". The side story of the Interpol agent tracking them is quite funny too. I had never heard of it, but the synopsis looked entertaining, and I like the actors so I tried it and enjoyed it. It is a brief movie, so even if you aren't enjoying the ride, it will be over all too quickly. Many fun twists to be had, give this one a go. 8/10.

Well just seen it and very shocked, most of the films you never hear of or go straight to DVD, tend to have good reason (there is many horrible big budget films also) and so as a Kurt fan I watched it.Its a lower budget Oceans 11, but what it does have is a good story, great cast who work well together, good direction, and a hell of a script.........its a very funny film, not often I laugh out loud, but there is loads of quotable lines.Its a shame it never got any real cinema time, I would rate it very high on the entertaining side, and if you get a chance to watch it, do so.

Much closer to Gambit (1966) than the horrible remake Gambit (2012)The Art of the Steal (2013) In order to sell numerous forgeries of a Book, they appear to steal the first edition, which turns out to be a fabricated ploy, and the true purpose was to steal, and sell numerous forgeries of a painting by Georges Seurat.Gambit (1966) In order to sell numerous forgeries of a sculpture, they appear to steal the original Bust, which isn't really stolen, but the theft was reported worldwide.Gambit (2012) An art curator decides to seek revenge on his abusive boss by conning him into buying a fake Monet, but his plan requires the help of an eccentric and unpredictable Texas rodeo queen.
