Review of No Sudden Move (2021) by Piso — 04 Jul 2021

This is an environmental expose of the evils of capitalism disguised as a mediocre heist movie -- with a heaping helping of leftist ideology. On the positive side, it's a top shelf cast delivering solid performances and the film looks good, but you've seen better work from all the actors elsewhere.

It's interesting, at first, to try to figure out the puzzling web of characters and their motivations until you learn you can tell the heroes from the bad guys and losers simply by skin color. Easy! Gender too.

They even tossed in a couple lesbians, for no apparent reason other than extra virtue signaling by the filmmakers. It makes the whole thing very predictable and self-congratulatory. Ultimately, and in retrospect, a lot of it, especially the ending, is nonsensical, but that's true of so many movies, it's hard to knock this one in particular.

But I can knock it for failing to deliver anything interesting, unique, or memorable.
