Editorial Review: Product Description: When professional grifter Jake Vig (Edward Burns) chooses the wrong mark in The King (Dustin Hoffman) he is given two choices: pull off a near impossible heist or lose his life. Needing all the help he can get Jake brings in beautiful con artist Lily (Rachel Weisz) and a mixed group of "professionals." Nonetheless with The King riding him and a pesky Special Agent (Andy Garcia) on his tail Jake and his team look to have the odds stacked against them.System Requirements:Running Time: 97 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 031398710967 Manufacturer No: 20316 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fun to Watch - Buy ItI've seen this movie on cable several times and have enjoyed it each time. Not so much for the plot, although it's not bad, but more for the cast. They're all fun to watch. Even Dustin Hoffman's overacting is a fun ride, and the minor characters are a treat. If you don't expect high art and are in the mood for a good story with compelling actors, you won't be disappointed. How can you argue with Ed Burns, Paul Giamatti, Andy Garcia, and the always very beautiful Rachel Weisz in the same film? ... Read More Rating:  - Weak, weak and weaker; Hoffman's nadirWow did this suck. So many good people but such a lame-brained script and plodding direction. Plus, how the hell did Hoffman take this part? It's a stretch and he doesn't make it, seems almost self-parodistic at times. I love his work in general but this blows. This flick tries to be post-modern/gleaming hip and fails miserable. We watched most of it then gave up half an hour before the end; I rarely do that and I love a good crime/con flcik (Matchstick Men!). Passola. Rating: - Boy team planning a scamFilm in the theme of "Ocean's 11, 12, 13" if you will. We have a team of grifter buddies who get along well and like each other's company, willing to take a high stake scam against the "King" - local mafia boss. It is helping that they have one foxy girl (beautiful Rachel Weisz) to help out the boys with the scam as only the girl can pull. But this film drags and drags with not enough humour to keep the atention span going. There are too many parallel stories going on at once so warning - do not ... Read More Rating: - A decent attempt at making grifters entertaining....For a while, most the 90's and early 2000's, twist ending movies lead the way at the local megaplex. While it seems that Bryan Singers' outstanding The Usual Suspects lead this charge, this new "genre" had its own roller coaster ride. The highs ranking up there with movies like The Sixth Sense to the lows with anything else done by M. Night Shyamalan. While Sense was a jaw dropper the first time around, the movie looses its appeal after repeat viewings and falls into a category of a good ghost movie. ... Read More Rating: - Style over SubstanceCaper movies have been well served in the 90's and to some extent into the noughties. Movies like Ocean's Eleven, The Grifters, Heist and many others, have raised the bar for the con artist on the silver screen. `Confidence' aims high, and just scrapes over the bar, but without much room to spare. The plot - well, it would spoil it to tell.. but even if I wanted to it would be difficult, as maze-like as it is. Suffice to say, when a con turns out to have inadvertently trodden on a ganglord's toes (Dustin ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
