Now that we know when and where you'll be able to see Steven Soderbergh's "No Sudden Move" as well as who'll be appearing in it, the obvious question is "what's it all about?" Thankfully, the new film finds Soderbergh once again working in the crime-thriller genre, which has frequently seen him at his cinematic best. The film also finds Soderbergh returning to the streets of Detroit (via Detroit Free Press), the site of his egregiously overlooked 1998 masterpiece "Out of Sight."
"No Sudden Move" is far from a contemporary tale of criminals running amok, however, and is instead set in the Motor City circa 1955. Per Deadline, the new film will reportedly tell the tale of a group of small-time criminals assembled by a mysterious figure for a seemingly simple heist. When the job goes wrong in spectacular fashion, the group sets out to uncover not only who hired them for the fateful gig, but what said person's motivation really was. Along the way, they deal with low-level crime bosses, dodgy cops, shady crooks, and a city at times seized by racial turmoil.
Yes, that synopsis errs a bit on the side of vague. But it's all we've got to go on for now, because even as stylish as the new teaser for "No Sudden Move" is, it actually gives away less. Rest assured that whatever pulse-pounding thrills and underworld chills Soderbergh and screenwriter Ed Solomon ("Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure") spin from that shadowy setup will be nothing short of dazzling.
