A mostly satisfying entry in the art heist genre. Read full review

The banter waxes and wanes a tad more than I’d like. And yes, Lying and Stealing, being a genre picture, is the 14,764th “one last job” movie. Read full review

Yet even given its budgetary limits and second-tier cast, Lying and Stealing manages to be a retro escapist pleasure — one whose cleverness might actually have been muffled by flashier surface assets. Read full review

The movie has moments, but clichés abound and it runs out of energy and steam early. In a memorably bad summer, count it as another dull indie-prod on its way to home video. Read full review

Lying and Stealing comes across as the object a thief would replace an art piece to prevent anyone from realizing it’s missing at first glance. Read full review

Lying and Stealing might have been more effective if its two leads had more charisma, but James is mostly bland and Ratajkowski never quite convinces as a woman of mystery. This is the sort of lighthearted exercise that requires genuine star power to overcome its triviality, and the lack of it here seriously diminishes its impact. Read full review

The jaunty, neo-noirish crime outing Lying and Stealing has its moments — chiefly the engaging performances of sexy leads Theo James and Emily Ratajkowski — but is too short on depth and logic to prove much more than a glossy, forgettable trifle. Read full review

This is a movie I wanted to like, but is frustratingly bad in many ways. The tone is all over the place between serious and poor attempts at humor, and the stars lack much chemistry, very dull performance by Theo James, but he can only do what is in the script, and that is not very good.This is a movie I wanted to like, but is frustratingly bad in many ways. The tone is all over the place between serious and poor attempts at humor, and the stars lack much chemistry, very dull performance by Theo James, but he can only do what is in the script, and that is not very good. It's not the worst movie and is pretty much a derivitave "last job" type of blah blah blah film, so if you have nothing better to do, and love those types of movies, you mind find some enjoyment in a few minutes of it here or there, but overall...not a good movie. Very banal, and needed better stars and better humor to carry material that is so derivitave. The only "new" thing in the film that was intersting...was the way in which the art is stolen on a few occasions, which is...about 10 minutes of the movie or less.… Expand
