Sleight is a combinations of two competing generic films. One of them is a dull, cliche, gang drama with a surprisingly sound romantic subplot, and the other is a much more fun flick about a magician who essentially has superpowers. Unfortunately, for a majority of the runtime, it is the former of these films, which is completely fine and well-directed, but it's clear Dillard wishes he had a bigger budget so he could make more of the superhero shenanigans come to life. Latimore and Gabriel ground the movie in their believable romance, and they're what makes watching this film actually compelling. It's only in the final fifteen minutes that Dillard's intentions become clear and the film truly sings in a memorable way. Sleight is an alright time at the movies, but fails to really leave an impression despite strong performances and a good third act. C+
