The background story revolving around feuds between automotive kingpins like Ford adds layers to the main event and also works to flesh out the period detail. The 1950s Detroit setting helps to set this film apart from other Soderbergh crime vehicles and utilises these assets with strong attention to period detail, whether that be the suits or the cars that bustle up and down throughout.
#NO SUDDEN MOVE CAST FULL#
With such a stacked cast, there are times in which it feels like some roles are more extended cameos, with Jon Hamm and Ray Liotta being reduced into this category, but the comeback period of Brendan Fraser is well-and-truly in full flow, with the former lead of The Mummy making a great impact that is integral to No Sudden Move’s success. These two are far and away the most developed characters in the film, each helping to drive much of the plot. Benicio del Toro and Don Cheadle work well as an odd couple that bounce off each other throughout. No Sudden Move’s cast was bound to be one of the film’s strengths and that is certainly the case. The plot can be difficult to follow on occasion, and in typical Soderbergh fashion doesn’t go in the direction audiences may expect – No Sudden Move will perhaps warrant repeat viewings to decipher all the character motivations and the nuances of the story. Curt Goynes (Cheadle), Ronald Russo (del Toro) and Charley (Culkin) are hired to blackmail Matt Wertz (David Harbour), and the film becomes somewhat of a cat and mouse game with racial tensions rife and the police drawn into the web by Joe Finney (Jon Hamm). No Sudden Move revolves around a job gone wrong as a hired crew are stitched up for what seems like a straightforward job. There were further positive reviews from The Guardian and Evening Standard, indicating that this has been one of Soderbergh’s most well-received of his recent endeavours. In addition to the clear selling point of its cast, the film has earned strong reviews, such as the one published in The Times: “Soderbergh remains criminally good”, ‘it is an ingeniously overstuffed film’.
It is a shame audiences have been deprived of a cinema release for No Sudden Move as it would surely have commanded an audience.
Such is Soderbergh’s prolificacy that this is remarkably his 28th film as a director. Soderbergh’s most recent effort is the 1950s thriller No Sudden Move, which features a typical all-star cast including Don Cheadle, Jon Hamm, Kieran Culkin, Ray Liotta, Benicio del Toro and Brendan Fraser. In addition to the all-star, smooth Ocean’s films, Soderbergh has also helmed the likes of Out Of Sight, The Limey and the comedy-drama Logan Lucky. Steven Soderbergh and heist movies have a long and varied history. Starring: Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Kieran Culkin, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser, Ray Liotta, Jon Hamm
