Motivations are suspected and expectations are turned upside down, as a con artist takes on Manhattan billionaires.

Critics Consensus

Although it never comes close to the classic capers it seeks to emulate, Sharper is just sleek and clever enough to pass the time.

4/5

While Sharper’s genius resides in its ability to successfully outwit its audience, at no point does it feel laboured or in the least predictable.

Moore is tremendous; other performances vary perhaps a little more than they are meant to...

3/4

A fun watch with friends and family or a solo evening’s light diversion, the kind you replay the next day in your head to see how it all fits together.

3/5

An engaging and twisty drama that loses some steam by the end but nevertheless remains a fun time.

Rough Draft Atlanta

The structure that’s kept you guessing, leaving hints of the truth in its wake, weakly sputters out into a third act that, despite the film’s attempts at obscuring the truth, feels simultaneously unearned and foreseeable from a mile away.

3/5

Sharper doesn’t fizzle out—far from it—but its conclusion ultimately feels indicative of the film as a whole: slick, clever, well-executed, but just a little too safe.
