Criminal Movie Review 2004

Experienced con man takes a novice under his wing to help bilk a rich collector. But like most con/heist flicks, everything is not what it seems. Complex and enjoyable remake of Argentine filmmaker Fabian Bielinski's "Nine Queens." Reilly and Luna give great performances, as do Gyllenhaal and Mullan. Fun in the vein of "Matchstick Men", full of twists and turns with a terrific payoff.
