The Sting Reviews
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
As for Newman and Redford, they have developed a form of instant communication. Words are not as important as they way they look at each other. Call it as snow job or call it acting, it is very pleasing to watch.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
A "movie" movie that has obviously been made with loving care each and every step of the way.
Village Voice
Andrew Sarris
Pure popcorn like this is hardly worthy of serious analysis... Fortunately, the stars have not lost their charm and authority.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
There is just no way not to love this movie.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
[The Sting] is an unalloyed delight, the kind of pure entertainment film that's all the more welcome for having become such a rarity. What's more, it's a triumph of quality Hollywood craftsmanship.
Variety
A.D. Murphy
Extremely handsome production values and a great supporting cast round out the virtues.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Top-notch entertainment.
Orlando Sentinel
G.J. Fleming
Hill's stylish, old-fashioned film, complete with Norman Rockwell- style sketches which open up into well-detailed scenes of Chicago in the good-bad old days, is always pleasant and absorbing.
Arizona Republic
Phil Strassberg
Hill's direction reaches the superior caliber via a rhythmic and fluid pacing that adheres both to the nature of the plot and the period.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
It's a stinger, all right, this new Paul Newman-Robert Redford film titled The Sting, and it'll zap you right out of your seat.
Newsweek
Paul D. Zimmerman
Like its heroes, the film succeeds on charm and con. Newman and Bedford radiate a charismatic appeal that tilts the movie in their favor.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
The combination of Paul Newman and Robert Redford adds real magic to the magical world of the motion picture, and these two fine actors never have been better than in The Sting, a brilliant ornament in the holiday film season.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
The Sting, which is about big-time swindlers, is meant to be a roguishly charming entertainment, and I guess that's how most of the audience takes it, but I found it visually claustrophobic, and totally mechanical.
TIME Magazine
Jay Cocks
Newman and Redford pass a few facial expressions between them and try to cool each other out. If there ever was much of a script, it can be said to have gone to waste.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Judith Crist
It's a joy to look at and has that rarest of present-day ingredients, Hill's hallmark -- taste. What glitters here is pure movie gold.
Philadelphia Inquirer
William B. Collins
Our interest is directed less to the people we meet than to the step-by-step construction of the trap, a process which exerts neither less nor more fascination than a book on how to cheat at cards.
Boston Globe
Kevin Kelly
It is glossy, self-conscious, theatrically forced. And, in company with its material, it comes off false. Fun but false.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
One of the most enduring and exquisitely crafted blockbusters of all time.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie has a nice, light-fingered style to it.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
The film is so good-natured, so obviously aware of everything it's up to, even its own picturesque frauds, that I opt to go along with it.
