“Smart direction and an outstanding ensemble cast help enliven The Hot Rock 's relatively standard plot, making this heist caper worthy of stealing your time.”

"The Hot Rock" may be Robbery Movie No. 345. But there's as much fun as familiarity in it.

It's a great action film and a blissfully funny one, too.

A crazily funny show with satisfying measures of wit and ingenuity in cunning combination.

…The Hot Rock is a brisk, outdoorsy, big-city flick that really catches a vibe for 1972; even though people get hurt, we never see Dortmunder as anything other than a good guy who works in a bad world. It’s an engaging and very influential heist movie…
