    Really good tightly directed twisty turny plot thing. 12 years 6 months ago

    The final twist got me. Really well written piece. I liked the characters and Edward Burns was pretty good in his role. 1 year ago

    Confidence is very much a prototypical con man movie - there's a crew, plans within plans, you aren't meant to be sure if you can trust what you're seeing or who the characters are actually playing to, and bad people deserving of to be cheated - and it works as an intellectual puzzle. And that's often enough (whether you smugly guess the truth or get caught be surprise). But it doesn't really work emotionally. The villains are more interesting than the heroes, for one thing, and only Rachel Weisz truly ellicits any sympathy. I don't know who thought Ed Burns was an engaging lead, but he's the cookiest cookie-cutter character of them all. And while I liked the convolutions of the grift itself and the slick direction, Weisz's character is too often the victim of rampant misogyny and objectification, not all of it necessary to the story. Made my skin crawl, especially early on. 6 years 3 months ago
