Confidence!

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Fun, fun, fun. But ya gotta know when you go in, Ophuls or Renoir or Tarkovsky or Almodovar it ain't. It *is*, a completely entertaining movie about a con job that spins spectacularly out of control.
Two bonus features:
I never felt cheated. The writer and director offered sufficient clues, one might have caught on to the denoument, I realized afterwards. But maybe it's more fun to get captured in the flow than to be analytical.
Ed Burns as an actor. Apart from too-good looks, perfectly believable. Also it's fine to hear a *tenor* voice in a leading man; that's what they do in opera, after all.
Two small problems:
One of the con subplots I still don't see the need for, in the overall organization of things.
Dustin Hoffmann. He chews the scenery. But it still works.
