The Sting (1973) = C-
This film seems overrated to me. The sets and make up are horrendous, and it looks like a cheap television production. The style of the opening credits, where they used quick clip shots of the actors from later in the film, reminded me of the opening credits for Love Boat and Fantasy Island. The characters are not very likable and the plot is dragged out with average screen writing. The only thing it really has going for it is the cast. Not as good as I was expecting.
Paper Moon (1973) = A
This film was well acted, written, directed. It truly captured the feel of the great depression era.
Much more then I was expecting!
