"Christ, they'll probably miss you and hit me." Henry Gondorff
This film had always been on my watch list, however the thing that really pushed me to watch it was my love of Hustle. While I was approaching the final episode of season one, I was told that if I wanted to enjoy The Sting, I should watch it first. The Sting is a brilliant movie with the potential to be overwhelming on fist viewing. Luckily, I felt like I was able to keep up with it very well because I had seen five episodes of elaborate cons with clever Plan B’s. The brilliance of this film is in the details. The minds of Gondorff and Hooker are amazing to watch in action. Every little thing comes together, every scenario is accounted for, and they make everything work. It’s a classic scenario of routing for the “bad guys.” These bad guys are just so good at being bad, and it’s a treat to watch.
