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 makes a subtle return to the active cast. He hasn't done much in the last three years, but maybe that will change. He has three projects in the works. The Art of the Steal is a heist comedy, which, by all accounts, is quite trendy lately. The Coen brothers proved with their screenplay for Gambit that it's not easy, and The Art of Steal only confirmed it. The film doesn't have the necessary drive and even Russell, Dillon, or Baruchel can't save it. I was pretty bored. With the jokes, it at least reaches around 40%.
