If you were to mash together Carrie and The Joy Luck Club, and somehow still get away with a PG rating, it might look a bit like this movie, says critic Justin Chang.

Steven Soderbergh's engrossing new movie, No Sudden Move, is an ensemble crime thriller set in 1954 Detroit, a gorgeously designed world of fedoras and trenchcoats, smoky wood-paneled offices and vintage automobiles. Like the classic '50s noirs that inspired it, Ed Solomon's densely plotted script is full of double-crosses and dirty dealings.

Justin Chang says there's more going on in any five minutes of Drive My Car than in some movies in their entirety.
