  Fails to convince.

  Far from a classic
  
  This movie does have a very good cast and it isn't a bad film...it's just that there are many better ones of its genre.

  Sometimes style can get you killed
  
  This film should have listened to that advice. The flashy whip-pans are only as deceptive as the con itself and once you've seen through that, there's ... read more »

  Sting-tastic
  
  A fast paced, cleverly written and well acted con thriller which takes the essence of 'The Sting' and updates it for the new millenium.
