I remember once hearing Peter Bagge say that he regretted naming his comic book Hate because critics couldn’t resist headlines like “I Hate Hate” or something in that vein. I wish the producers of Sleight had heard that same thing because I can’t help myself but say that Sleight is, well, kind of slight. For a movie about magic tricks, gang violence, and subdermal electromagnets, there just isn’t that much going on. Sometimes that’s great and it reads as a nice little slice of life movie with some fantastic elements on the fringe; other times you can just sort of see where the effects budget ran out. Sleight is a good movie for $250,000 but I can’t help but pine for the version that cost a few million.
I appreciate that Sleight is trying to tell a smaller story, honestly I do. I like that it...

With their help, animation will burst through the confines of “all ages” entertainment, which has happened several times in the last five decades. Feature adult animation’s first big hit was the 1972 Ralph Bakshi adaptation of R Crumb’s underground comic Fritz The Cat. A sequel quickly...
