The Sting: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

The Sting: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Sting?
Director clearly thought The Sting was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in The Sting is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched The Sting last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Sting actually is?
Look, I wanted to love The Sting. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: The Sting is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of The Sting and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
