Ed Burns gives arguably the best performance of his career in James Foley's fast-moving CONFIDENCE. Foley, who directed David Mamet's GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, has learned much from his mentor, making a who's-conning-whom film worthy of the master of the genre. Burns plays Jake Vig, the leader of a small group of con artists who unknowingly steals money from a sleazy but powerful underworld lord known as King. In order to get his dough back, King forces Vig and his gang to pull off a nearly impossible con that could get nearly everyone involved killed. Meanwhile, Vig is being watched closely by a stubbly federal agent who is following the money.
Foley has put together a terrific cast, including Paul Giamatti and Rachel Weisz as part of Vig's crew, Andy Garcia as the fed, Dustin Hoffman as King, and Luis Guzman and Donal Logue as two cops on the take. As in Mamet's films, the audience will have to keep guessing whose side the characters are on right up until the final shot, never quite knowing who is conning whom.

Slick thriller with a twisting narrative of double-cross and betrayal that is less interesting than it should be; Hoffman's eccentricities as a gangster add a little spark to the proceedings.

With a cast this good...
With a cast this good, how can you ignore it??? One of the more under rated films of last year. This, The Sting -esque, film is extremely entertaining.

Fails to convince.
Really boring. Can't find anything good to say about it. Too much talk, too little action seems to be the problem, but also bad direction, if one dare say ... read more »

This was like "Hustle"
I can't remember putting this on the list but it was an enjoyable movie if a little far fetched. To be honest if you enjoy watching 'Hustle' on the... read more »
Katherine Heigl rom-com 27 Dresses has held on to the number one position at the UK box office, according to new figures from the number-crunchers at Nielsen.

Dance drama Step Up 2: The Streets became the top-grossing film on the chart at number three, having taken £7.52 million at the box office Read more
