Wonderful, layered con flick, 31 January 2004
9/10
Author: subliminalelf from Los Angeles

Kevin Pollack is the best he's ever been as a down on his luck grifter, who gets involved in a scheme to steal some blackmarket Rolexes... which is just the start of dozens of twists and reversals in this wonderfully textured con game. The film has a lot of heart underneath all the deceptions. I can't say it's anything new in the genre, but that shouldn't matter too much. It's skillfully written and directed, with some beautiful, moody photography. If you're into noirish, grifter pieces, then this should be right up your alley.
