Where to Watch Żądło
- Mister Arn13 maja 2025In 1930s Chicago, a young con man seeking revenge for his murdered partner teams up with a master of the big con to win a fortune from a criminal banker. (imdb) Mini-Review: Redford and Newman have exceptional chemistry in this finely crafted movie about the big con.
- Crygina3 września 2026Awe, I don't know why but I was sad when this one went to credits. A much more personable story than I imagined.
- John Chapel31 sierpnia 2026Total pioneer of a film. It's still emulated and parodied in media all over today. I miss the days of simple movies and practical effects. I suppose the trade off was that we didn't really understand the expectations and respect for the mythos when it comes to sequels back then in the 70s because the sequel is terrible.
- Jon Allen3 czerwca 2026Fantastic classic film. Super acting, great plot, terrific directing.
- Gerard26 grudnia 2025Brilliant surprise, never bothered watching it before and I’m so glad I did now.
- willyboy6814 sierpnia 2025Great pic about a fantastic con!! Cast from Newman down to the extras is top rated. Many surprises toward the finale!!!
- Oliver Reznik8 kwietnia 2025I remember seeing this 10+ years ago and thinking it was like a 4.5. Actually I was pretty high on it while watching, but gradually came down, and came down further upon reflection. This movie has great, charismatic performances. I particularly liked Doyle. The movie does a good job setting up his character so that the poker scene is super satisfying to watch and very high tension. And the movie flows very well. It's pacing seems almost akin to modern mainstream sensibilities a la Nolan for example. Where does this movie fall flat? I think mostly I just get this increasing sense of its own self-satisfaction in all the clever little schemes it's characters pull. Of course it's very easy to pull off clever little schemes when they're written into the script. There's a scene where some random guy working for the main characters cuts off Doyle from getting in line. And the illusion of the story is sort of ripped away. It's one example, but gees there's no limit to the powers of deception the main characters' possess. They've hired hundreds of people to pull off elaborate, time consuming ruses where your imagination is the limit of what they can do. Pushed further when the final trick is played on the mark and the audience itself and it turns out those people forcing the main character into a difficult moral quandary are also in on the whole thing. It's a fun movie, but also a little insulting?
