His character veers in different directions, giving moments of heart while still baring the same corruption as everyone around him. David Harbour, as mid-level General Motors accountant Matt Wertz, gives one of the most enthralling performances in No Sudden Move. Source: HBO Maxīrendan Fraser, having a well-deserved renaissance or ‘Brenaissance’, perfectly projects the darkness of his character in each one of his scenes, offering an engaging and intense opposition. This showcases the extensive talents of del Toro and Cheadle and the captivating way they play against each other. The film explores a sort-of buddy noir comedy in a similar vein to The Nice Guys between their characters. This becomes much more than they were planning, and the two are quickly in over their heads. The deceptively simple job given to Ronald ( Benicio del Toro) and Curt ( Don Cheadle) by Doug Jones ( Brendan Fraser) is basically babysitting while armed. No Sudden Move is brought to life through memorable and intense performances. The rhythm of the film’s score permeates into every frame, allowing the audience to get pulled along for the ride, feeling every bump and twist as it comes. The music cues create a frantic and energized tone to the film’s action. No Sudden Move paints a clear and beautifully mysterious portrait of Detroit and the automotive industry of the 1950s. The subtle and realistically placed moments of humor– “I’m going to punch you now”–evoke memories of the noir pastiche and humor of The Long Goodbye. The fashion helps bring the era to life and separates characters, creating false dichotomies between what we expect and the persistent nature of corruption. No Sudden Move also succeeds in its pastiche through clothing and car choices throughout the film. The lighting recalls the brilliant use of shadows in the noir genre offering a welcome pastiche that transports the audience to another time, another place. Throughout the film, I wished I could be watching this on a bigger screen, fully immersing myself in the way light and shadows play across the screen. The cinematography explores the light found within the darkness, featuring beautiful scenes brought to life with small, intimate sources of light painting moments in vivid shades of orange, yellow, and blue. Every aspect of the film perfectly captures the era, and explores stylistic techniques prominent in films from that same time. Throughout the film, there is never a doubt that it’s the 1950s. The film looks wonderful, and perfectly captures the 1950s through its production design, costuming, and vast array of cars, perfectly fitting for a film exploring the dark underbelly of the automotive industry. No Sudden Move works wonderfully as a love letter to the noir film and this is reflected in every area of the film. This backdrop works well to create a captivating noir story with plenty of opportunity to explore the nature of men and the power of corruption. No Sudden Move explores the darkness, betrayals, and double-crossings within the motor race in 1954 Detroit.
