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%.
