Pulling Strings

About This Movie

Pulling Strings (2023) has this quirky, offbeat vibe that really makes it stand out in the comedy genre. The pacing bounces along as Ruby, played with a charming naivety, gets wrapped up in this heist for a diamond necklace. The characters, from the tech-savvy Q-Bytes to the ridiculous petty thieves Joe and Juan, bring both humor and a bit of chaos. There's a lighthearted absurdity to how their plans unravel, almost reminiscent of classic caper films but with a modern twist. The practical effects are minimal but just enough to keep it grounded. Performances are all over the place, but in a good way. It’s not groundbreaking, yet it manages to capture a certain playful spirit that’s hard to ignore.
