The Sting (1973)
8/10
I finally got it!
16 March 2014
I watched this film three times as a teenager in 1973/1974, with my friend, then my friend and his aunt, and then when I had to go along with the school class. I then found the film boring because I never understood it and there was little action. I would have been 15 or 16 at the time. The language was too speak-easy for me and the plot too adult- like for an un-worldy teenager like myself.

But I never give up. Forty years later, I watched the film again and I understood it. I found it to be quite enjoyable and liked the twists.

The acting was very good, as was the plot. There were a few bugs in the film and with modern equipment, I could freeze frame a gunshot to the head and see there was no bullet hole. Still, it was quite entertaining.

The music of course is a classic... THE ENTERTAINER!
