Movie Reviews of The Stickup

Movie Review: Awesome movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great movie. Lots of twists and turns in the plot.
I loved it. I'd say it's one of James Spader's best roles.

Movie Review: James Spader never disappoints
Summary: 4 Stars

A independant film full of strong, solid acting, strong plot full of surprises, believable realistic characters. Don't let the simple title fool you, this a great movie. For my fellow Spader lovers, get this NOW. Spader is amazing as usual, he creates a sympathetic character of past regrets, lonliness, he's a thinking man's hero. Spader brings his prescence and intensity to the film, giving it class, setting a high standard. The supporting cast is solid, with nods to Leslie Stephanson. She and Spader have a great sexy chemistry to them. I won't spoil anything or dig deep into the story, I think you should see it for yourself. The atmosphere and mood is strangely calm and relaxed, builing itself up slowly for an exciting climax. The music is very noticable, jazzy saxaphones bring a feeling of 50s B & W hard boiled detective films. There a few goofy and lame lines of dialogue for a R rated film. Shame there isn't any subtitles, well, english ones. The action scenes are intense and believable, not TOO over the top, and are very fun and cool to watch. The heist scene is great and real. The story is surprisingly strong for a low budget film, it's very well written and intricate. The movie fools the viewer pretty good, making you believe everything you see. The young FBI agent re-examines everthing and slowly unravels everything for us little by little. He is our door to the facts and actuality. You'll find yourslef shocked and applauuding it. You owe it to yourself to sit down and watch a actual movie, with acting and a story. It's very cheap to buy and is more satisfying than paying a bunch to see the crap they call movies now. If you're a fan of the great James Spader, don't hesitate to buy this. Everyone else check this out, you won't be disappointed. Don't let the bland title misjudge you into missing this worthwhile film.

Movie Review: Enjoyable!
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is a nice combination of a touch of the hard-boiled(the main two characters with great chemistry) and comedy(the young FBI investigator and others) and believe me, it is successful. After watching it, I felt like saying at a bar, "I'll buy him a drink." Then the story starts...
