Ed wrote the original Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, which on the surface is a silly movie, but I think that movie is a genius movie - it is up there with Citizen Kane. What was it about Ed Solomon script that you really connected with?ĭavid Harbour: He's funny, interesting writer, and he's such a smart writer. And she has this idea that there's something better and more for her.īut what I really appreciated about the script is that all the noir and the magic of it is really rooted in the realism that just because she has a dream to escape doesn't mean it's gonna work out.ĭavid, Matt's life gets increasingly complicated as the film progresses. What can you tell me about Paula?įrankie Shaw: Paula is a secretary, and the other woman to Matt's character. I really liked that about him.įrankie, your character almost seems like she's ripped out of the 1950s noir movie. But I liked him because he was so afraid and messed up in that way. I had a great sort of empathy for that, and I've done that at various times in my life. And he kept making the wrong decision of being the guy that he thought he should be, as opposed to being the guy who he was that might liberate him and might make him feel good. What was it about the character that really interested you?ĭavid Harbour: I loved the fact that there seemed to be two versions of Matt: there was the version Matt thought he was, or thought he should be, and then there was this other version of Matt that was kind of who he was and what he wanted. The director’s creative team behind the scenes included Oscar-winning production designer Hannah Beachler (Black Panther) and costume designer Marci Rodgers (BlacKkKlansman), with music by David Holmes (Baby Driver, TV’s Killing Eve).David, Matt's a pretty passive guy that's made some bad decisions and gets really pushed to his limits.
#NO SUDDEN MOVE SERIES#
Soderbergh directed the film from a screenplay written by Ed Solomon and produced by Casey Silver, both of whom he collaborated with on his HBO series Mosaic. And just like every high stakes game, there are winners and losers on both sides. And the information on this document clearly has implications for a much broader conspiracy that entangles the myriad paper chasers in a web of double-crossing, deceit and shifting loyalties as everyone attempts to get in on the action in hopes of a mounting, monumental payday. But not the safe where it’s supposed to be. Their activity draws the attention of the State Police, in particular Detective Joe Finney (Hamm), who throws yet another monkey wrench in the works as he navigates the deceptions on both sides of the law, blurring the line between them.Īll of this over a piece of paper. Turns out, it’s a three-man job as Jones recruits two more petty criminals, Ronald Russo (Del Toro) and Charley Barnes (Culkin) to sit with Matt’s wife, Mary (Seimetz), and two kids (Jupe, Holt) in their middle-class neighborhood while Matt plays the unlucky pawn for Jones’s mysterious boss.Įverything that can go wrong does go wrong, leading Curt and Ronald through a maze of Detroit’s midcentury criminal elite vying for interest in an ever-growing scheme of complexity and danger involving competing figures of the local crime world, like Frank Capelli (Liotta), his wife Vanessa (Fox) and Aldrick Watkins (Duke), who is often mentioned but rarely seen. Approached by a shady go-between known only as Jones (Fraser) to do a babysitting job on the family of a low-level auto executive, Matt Wertz (Harbour), Curt sees an opportunity to climb out of the hole he’s in.

Recently released from prison, Curt is dogged by a missing “code book” and his questionable history in the underbelly of Detroit’s African-American crime syndicate. The film stars Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, with Ray Liotta, Jon Hamm, Amy Seimetz, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin, Noah Jupe, Craig muMs Grant, Julia Fox, Frankie Shaw, and Bill Duke.Ĭurt Goynes (Cheadle) is down on his luck. When their plan goes horribly wrong, their search for who hired them – and for what ultimate purpose – weaves them through all echelons of the race-torn, rapidly changing city.


Set in 1954 Detroit, No Sudden Move centers on a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. From director Steven Soderbergh comes No Sudden Move.
