The Most Underrated Movies Of 2021

It's unclear how we got to this incredible point where Steven Soderbergh is able to churn out at least one film a year, but why argue with something so wonderful? Ever since his "un-retirement" in 2017 with the exquisitely goofy "Logan Lucky," Soderbergh has not only been steadily releasing new films, but he's been taking each film as a new chance to experiment with form, craft, and storytelling, resulting in — if nothing else — fascinating new cinematic entries on a yearly basis. And this year's film, "No Sudden Move," is nothing short of one of Soderbergh's most entertaining and exciting movies to date.

Set in 1950s Detroit, Soderbergh's latest zippy heist follows three gangsters brought onto a blackmail heist, tasked with holding hostage the family of an accountant (David Harbour) whose connections at work could make a lot of people a lot of money. With enough twists, turns, and overtly passionate creeds about the dangers of big business and capitalism — alongside a stellar ensemble cast including the likes of Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, Kieran Culkin, Amy Seimetz, Brendan Fraser, and a final "Big Bad" played by a surprise cameo we wouldn't dare spoil here — "No Sudden Move" proves that when it comes to the heist film, Soderbergh isn't getting rusty anytime soon.
