What seems like a simple job turns horribly wrong, plunging Goynes and another small-time crook on the assignment, Richard Russo (Benicio Del Toro), into a cat-and-mouse game that involves criminal kingpins (Ray Liotta and Bill Duke), a detective from an organized crime task force (Jon Hamm), and more - all fighting for control of a bunch of papers linked to a high-stakes conspiracy with roots in real-life history that aren’t revealed until the very end. Hired by a menacing tough guy (Brendan Fraser) who is a proxy for an unknown power broker, Goynes is tasked with baby-sitting the family of a GM accountant (David Harbour of Netflix’s “Stranger Things”) while he is being forced to remove an unidentified document from an office safe.

In one scene, a white-collar auto industry employee beats up his superior at the company as he simultaneously apologizes and insists that he loves his job.

Who’s going to get out of this and cross the finish line, if anybody?” How’s it going to work? Can we run game on this dude, or are we just going to be at the behest of whatever this powerful person wants to do to us?,” says the 56-year-old actor and Marvel franchise star. “In each storyline, there is someone above these main characters who is pulling their strings.

There are important themes embedded in “No Sudden Move” - things like corporate greed and racism - that don’t necessarily make for a slick, diverting thriller.īut Don Cheadle says what he loves about the movie is that weighty matters are “part and parcel” of the dangerous schemes that unfold in this engrossing crime saga set in 1954 Detroit and shot last year in the Motor City during the COVID-19 pandemic.
