DAVE DAVIES, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. Our film critic Justin Chang recommends the ensemble crime thriller "No Sudden Move," which stars Don Cheadle and Benicio Del Toro as two 1950s Detroit gangsters drawn into a citywide conspiracy. It's the latest movie directed by Steven Soderbergh, and it begins streaming this week on HBO Max. Here's Justin.
JUSTIN CHANG, BYLINE: Eight years ago, Steven Soderbergh announced his retirement from feature filmmaking. Happily for us, it turned out to be short-lived. Since 2017, he's been on a tear, cranking out one or two new movies a year. Among them, the brilliant NASCAR heist thriller "Logan Lucky," the sharp sports agency drama "High Flying Bird" and "The Laundromat" in a reverent look at financial fraud in the 21st century. What connects these movies is how attuned they are to matters of class and money in a way that's still pretty rare in Hollywood.
