The Sting
The Sting is one of the most popular and critically-acclaimed films of all time. Set in the 1930s, this intricate comedy caper deals with an ambitious smalltime crook and a veteran con man who seek revenge on the vicious crime lord who murdered one of their gang. How this group of charlatans puts "the sting" on their enemy makes for the greatest double-cross in movie history, complete with an amazing surprise finish.

Great film - Mano
Like many of the reviewers I was awe stuck by this movie as well. Nice to see Redford and Newman at their best. All the actors put out terrific performance. Slick pace. Nice music. DVD does justice in its reproduction. Even some topless burlesque dames!! in a 74 movie?!!
One up for zip to keep some good DVD prints in stock. Of course they are quick to ship these unlike the new movies which take a loong time!
If you have not seen this, then zip it folks.A great film - must see for the family! - Blimey
This is a classic "must see" film to watch with your family. An excellent plot, great story line, full of funny surprises, engaging movie sets, and, of course, lots of great acting. I enjoyed this film many years ago - but I think I enjoyed more the second time with my kids. (We are enjoying some of the older classics these days (thanks to zip) and the kids are actually more turned on by well acted films such as "The Sting" than they are by the modern razzle-dazzle effect of the movies like "Transformers"). Newman and Redford are outstanding in this one, as always... don't pass it by! Enjoy...Classic - dural78
his is a classic movie that withstands the test of time. Robert Redford does a superb job all through out. The subtleties of his acting are superb.
The story holds up well, and keeps you guessing and entertained throughout. You often wonder who is on who's side. The pacing of the movie is perfect, and touches of humor abound. The 1930's backdrops are very authentic, and the soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
Overall, highly recommended.
