Set in 1950s Detroit, the Steven Soderbergh film follows the masked and armed babysitters as they eventually realize that the heist was a setup. In the new No Sudden Move trailer, Don Cheadle and Benicio del Toro join a group of small-time criminals hired to “babysit” a man’s family while he picks up a document. However, as the two are on their way, Vanessa shoots him point-blank, leaving him in the middle of nowhere, forgotten by life.If you’re gonna make a movie about thieves, naturally you hire a bunch of… scene-stealers. On the other hand, Russo runs away with Capelli’s wife Vanessa (Julia Fox), after he is left with $400,000 after selling the documents to the highest bidder. ![]() Having lost everything he had worked for, Goynes settles for his life and the $5,000 cut he was promised for the job and decides to take this opportunity to leave for Kansas City for a purportedly quieter life. However, the two criminals meet wildly different ends when they go their separate ways, an outcome that can only be attributed to sheer luck.ĭespite being hounded by Capelli and Watkins, Goynes miraculously makes it to the end by cutting a deal halfway with Watkins’ gang, who rescue him from Detective Joe Finner ( Jon Hamm) right at the last minute.

As a criminal with a massive bounty on his head and no way to take refuge in his past, Goynes is forced to take extreme measures in order to climb the social strata of the criminal underbelly of Detroit. This is referenced in passing at several points in the film, with a perturbed yet determined Goynes at the nexus of the events transpiring around him. ![]() Soderbergh presents Detroit as a microcosm for what was happening in the country as a whole, the key underlying themes in No Sudden Move being undercurrents of racial tension exacerbated by the construction of the I-375 highway which destroyed a Black neighborhood in Detroit.
