  A fairly average gambling/con movie - similar to The Hustle but with hollywood actors (this doesn't make it any better than the BBC serier though). ... read more »

  Nice idea - execution poor
  
  Gabriel Byrne, Sly Stallone and Melanie Griffith were incredibly one dimensional in this film. Thandie Newton was the only one acting.
  
  Plot was good ... read more »

  Complete waste of acting talent
  
  Gangsters, bent cops, chain smoking Molls in various states of undress, all 'clever dicks' that go to make a laughable OTT film.
