Director : Glenn Ficarra & John Requa
Running Time : 105 mins
Jess Barrett (Robbie) is an amateur thief who meets professional conman Nicky Spurgeon (Smith) when she tries to rob him. He takes her on as his protégé and soon the two start developing feelings for each other. Nicky decides to end their business relationship and the two don’t see each other for three years, when Nicky is hired to con an Australian businessman to his opponent in the motor racing industry can beat him, and Jess is dating the man Nicky is trying to con.
This has some solid scenes throughout, specifically the gambling scene with BD Wong, but on the whole it tries too hard to bluff the audience. The two lead performances are pretty good, and I can’t imagine the rumoured Ben Affleck or Kristen Stewart in the leads. Fans of heist movies will enjoy this if they can cope with the twists, but there’s also the romantic element that might attract some viewers.
