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.

A mostly satisfying entry in the art heist genre.

3/4

[D]irector and co-writer Matt Aselton has fashioned a slick, cool, mischievously dark and fast-paced B-movie thriller.

As far as fakes go, it's not half-bad. But if it has your full attention, it only takes a few moments of eye-squinting and chin-rubbing to recognize it as Dr. Thunder...

It's like they made Ocean's 11, but made it Ocean's 2 and didn't care.

Matt Aselton doesn't break any new ground with his art heist thriller, but he still packages some fast-paced, B-movie fun.

boring, what's the point of the movie, seems like I have seen that storyline a thousand times already (though luckily that's not the case). I do like the main actress though lol

Trama incredibilmente poco originale che condiziona non poco l'andamento del film, che infatti dopo una prima mezz'ora accettabile si spegne lentamente fino a toccare il fondo in un'ultima scena in cui tra recitazione pessima e sceneggiatura scontata non so cosa sia peggio. Comunque in alcuni momenti il pathos creato è buono e questo salva almeno in parte il risultato.
