Episode 117 - The Sting


Listen Later

This week on Movie Mistrial, we’re suiting up for one of the slickest cons in movie history as we dive into George Roy Hill’s stylish caper classic, The Sting.

The Sting is a brilliantly constructed tale of deception and charm, powered by the unbeatable chemistry of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. With its clever plot twists, jazzy ragtime score, and period-perfect style, the film delivers pure entertainment while keeping audiences guessing until the very end.

While The Sting is undeniably clever, some critics argue that its cool detachment and light tone can make the stakes feel lower than they should. Others suggest that without the charisma of its leads, the intricate plot might come across as more gimmick than substance.

Join us as we peel back the layers of The Sting. Is it a con well played, or does it bluff its way into greatness?
