Crunch Calhoun (Kurt Russell), a third rate motorcycle daredevil and semi-reformed art thief, agrees to get back into the con game and pull off one final lucrative art theft with his untrustworthy brother, Nicky (Matt Dillon). Reassembling the old team, Crunch comes up with a plan to steal a priceless historical book, but the successful heist leads to another far riskier plan devised by Nicky. They fail to realise each other’s seperate agendas when their plan goes awry in this con comedy about honour, revenge and the bonds of brotherhood. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Kurt Russell is quietly returning to active acting. He hasn't made much in the last three years, but maybe that will change. He has three projects in filming straight away. "The Art of the Steal" is a comedy about thieves, which seems to be popular lately. The Coen brothers, with their screenplay for the film "Gambit," proved that it's not easy, and the film "The Art of Steal" only confirmed that. The film lacks the necessary punch, and neither Russell, Dillon, nor Baruchel can save it. I was quite bored. At least the jokes will reach about 40%.
