This is one of the greatest films ever made, and my personal favorite. The reason why I would say this is my favorite is because it was the first film that I watched where I realized a movie could be more than just entertainment. It can literally be an art form. Before, all I had seen were just mediocre and ok movies. I mean, not bad movies, but nothing to this level. I can remember it clearly. I was 13 years old, it was a Sunday night, and my parents told me to watch this movie with them. I was blown away. I didn't fully understand the movie the first time I watched it, but something happened. My world was forever changed. It was then I realized what a movie could be. I loved every second of it. Obviously my review of this movie is biased, but I do think this movie is amazing. It's damn near perfect. As with any movie, you can nitpick it to death on it's flaws, but at the end of the day, it's just a good film. This movie has it all. Great acting, great cast (Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Robert Shaw), amazing score, one of the greatest stories ever told, and the list just goes on and on. If you haven't seen this movie, please do so. Not only does it hold up today, but it just may be one of the best movies you've ever seen. A perfect 10/10.

Two grifters named Johnny and Henry team up to pull off the ultimate con. The Sting will definitely sting you with it's boredom since not even Robert Redford and Paul Newman can't save it from falling apart. The movie is also a different of alot of different genres like comedy and crime and neither good on either sides of the same coin plus way to long and slow paced that makes the experience even worse and perhaps not a movie so special to deserve an 8.3/10 and definitely not a movie that also does not deserve to be on the top films of all time... (0/10)

Movie Review: "The Sting" (1973)The "Best Picture" Academy Award-winner of 1974 directed by George Roy Hill (1921-2002), exceeding his fulminate success standing-out western also-starring Paul Newman (1925-2008) and Robert Redford "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), comes this con-men story of despair to mingle with the wrong people at the right time in an high-stakes poker game on a moving cross-state train, where gangster kingpin Doyle Lonnegan, portrayed to excellence by Robert Shaw (1927-1978), wins his share due to skill and determination, bringing Johnny Hooker and Henry Gondorff, performed by Newman & Redford again, into a tight spot of pulling magic story twists until the very end of pitch-racing 125-Minute-Final-Cut by "The Godfather" editor William Reynolds (1910-1997), which still keeps on to amaze on every revisit we are able to share to full movie-making enjoyment, firstly received in holiday season of 1973/1974 to an audience-striking picture not only with the critics but as well with any spectator on the U.S. domestic market, rebounding multiplied production values in revenue for producing partners Michael and Julia Phillips (1944-2002), when this real-perfect Hollywood entertainment picture just raises its value from a nine to ten rating to be a proud all-over classic from Universal Pictures, Hollywood, California.Copyright 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC

For a while, one needs a scorecard to keep track of all the players. As Redford and Neuman light up the screen, we have an incredible intertwining of characters and motivations playing off each other, leading to the final con. What works is that we have a simple motivation that sets it all up. That is the murder of a friend. All else is directed at that central issue. Soon, the masters of the Sting begin to set up the dominoes, They match bad guys against bad guys, create artificial settings, maneuver things in an orchestrated way. Not everything works perfectly. There are some unexpected pitfalls, including a near-fatal mistake, but the beauty is that these villains are almost excited to be separated from their money. One of the really bright spots of the 1970's.
