No Sudden Move

        The latest from director Steven Soderbergh is a period crime drama with a plot drawn from an unlikely source. It stars Don Cheadle and Benicio del Toro as two low life criminals who get in over their heads trying to retrieve mysterious documents from an accountant.

        Mr. Soderbergh's stamp is all over the film. His style is so recognizable. Actors love to work with him and it's evident by Mr. Cheadle and Mr. del Toro's performances. Their chemistry is terrific and together with the excellent supporting cast of Jon Hamm, David Harbour, Amy Seimetz, Brendan Fraiser, Kieran Culkin, Julia Fox, Noah Jupe, Frankie Shaw, Bill Duke and Ray Liotta, they move effortlessly through the film.

         It's a fun crime noir with some clever surprises. Available on HBO Max
