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

The meeting of the crime with the drama in a comic template, it seems to you that the commercial commercial announcement only no more and no less, but there is a strange feeling in this film after I saw him but I thought it was a period and go away but after watching it again I realized that it is not just a comedy and crime And some drama, I discovered that it is a film that combines the beauty of performance and the quality of the output (George Roy, who received his film this Oscar) and the magnificence of the script and its simplicity. All these things attracted me to the film and even repeated viewing does not make you bored although the quality of such films may classify films She has lived her experience only once.About the film: The story of a young man (first-rate shooter / Robert Redford) in the 1930s in Chicago turns escape with his skin from a gang and uses his old friend Henry (Paul Newman). Great events mixed with a comic template make you not tired of watching this movie, with the theme of the beginning, which is a landmark and famous as you hear it until you remember this movie.

Wow, what a masterpiece!I re-watched The Sting recently for my family who'd never seen it. The story line depicts a bunch of grifters who need to take down a big-time mobster bank in the 1930's. What an all-star cast of actors in the prime of their careers - Robert Redford as the youngster who needs schooling in the ways, Paul Newman as the grizzled veteran, Robert Shaw as the big- time mobster, and tons of superb supporting stars you will recognize.The acting is terrific. The music is great. The plot will keep you on your seat from start to end. The Sting keeps you rooting for the underdogs throughout. This film is one of the rare gems that will be fun for young and middle and old folks alike. Except for some gun shot violence, and a little tawdry scenes with all that gambling houses offer, this film is fine for all. Sit back and enjoy the ride. The Sting - a must see masterpiece! Enjoy.

The movie begins with an interesting cheating on the street. This was really jaw dropping. This trend continues throughout the movie. In fact, you cannot trust on any person. Anything can be fraud. This makes the movie very interesting. The climax was so superb. Not writing much about the plot, it may spoil your viewing experience.One of the best movies with a lot of twists and turns. The movie is among the top list for no doubt. A well made movie of 70's. Technical perfection is another plus point of the film. It was nominated for 10 Oscars and won 7.A must watch movie. Highly recommended.#KiduMovie
