They are wrong The Sting is a brilliantly made and performed movie, it is a delightful film led by it's 2 lead stars at the height of their fame who spark off each other wonderfully just as they did in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. But it is not only the stars who recommend the film the supporting cast is very strong with lots of familiar character actors such as Charles Durning in excellent supporting roles. Also Robert Shaw provides a suitably roguish villain and director George Roy Hill evokes the style of old films with cards appearing on screen to announce the next stage of the film aping silent movies, then there is the use of editing wipe cuts that again evoke an earlier type of film making and finally to enhance the atmosphere of an earlier age there is Marvin Hamlish's arrangements of Scott Joplin's ragtime music.The film is a tale of revenge, how some con men take revenge on a gangster who has killed one of their friends and the story is about how they achieve that revenge, the script creates an intricate and satisfying plot and the performances of Robert Redford and Paul Newman are the epitome of a star performance, very charismatic and enjoyable. So the film is a brilliantly constructed piece of entertainment that was well worth it's best picture Oscar and is a movie that is well worth seeing. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good but not great *by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2018* This is a pleasant enough film, the main attractions of which are the character actors and the nicely done period touches.On the other hand, the plot is somewhat too contrived to really convince and the ending is rather a damp squib.Some people have said that the ragtime arrangements that form much of the background to this film are intrusive, but this probably comes down to whether you like this style of music or not. A more substantial criticism is probably that it is a little too much studio bound, with the train scenes looking rather cardboardy.It's probably not a bad film to keep, but the more you play it, the more evident are the holes in the plot. And after a few re-runs, these do get a bit annoying. I don't think my DVD has been played since about 2011 and it's probably about time it went in the charity bag. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic with a great twist at the end *by R***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2020* Two of the great US actors with a good plot and an excellent twist at the end. Basically it's about a couple of 'grifters' who go out to avenge the death of a friend by conning the man responsible out of a lot of cash.If you've ever watched 'The Hustle' TV series (the one with Robert Vaughn) then I would suggest that The Sting is the grandfather of it. In fact I'd be very surprised if the inspiration for the TV series hadn't come from this movie, since the style is similar and you don't really know how it's going to work out until right at the end.Interestingly, I bought this for my family who'd never seen it (along with 3 Days of the Condor and Where Eagles Dare) and afterwards my son (12 yo) remarked on how much better the plots are on these older films. My feeling is that modern films seem to rely too heavily on special effects at the expense of a good story line. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/50078502-the-sting-blu-ray-1973](https://www.desertcart.in/products/50078502-the-sting-blu-ray-1973) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
