No Sudden Move

— This feels like it was pieced together carefully and methodically, and that care pays off in a decent crime thriller set in the 1950s and looking very much as if it belongs to the era. It comes with a great cast. (How many movies have enough names to fill the marquee, allowing them to have Matt Damon playing an uncredited part?) There’s a good script with some witty dialog and plenty of twists and turns, but it really is the look and feel that stood out for me. I’m not sure what to think when films like this and others from directors the likes of Steven Soderbergh aren’t even released theatrically and end up streaming on a single, somewhat expensive streaming service, but I don’t think the audience benefits.
