I thought it very much in the style of Hitchcock. I predicted some of it, but even those parts had twists which kept in interesting.I think the sexual draw of the alike scammers was interesting. They were drawn together from the moment they met and both knew exactly who they were and why they were there. They also knew their attraction would destroy their plots. At first, one might say the guy was better in that he won, but he actually managed it poorly, ending up having to do the deed to keep playing. She simply could not keep up with her mark and was worn down.
I also like the way the story develops. In the first scene with the tennis player applying for a job, seems innocent enough, but check the clubs and time at each club, he has been running the scam for some time and this is the next roll of the dice.
I like the interview with the cops. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for the line which would unravel the crime, but it never came. And the cops were, perhaps for the first time in movie history, eager to close the case and used the actual info they had to do it.
Also note how a good script and directing created the needed emotion without having to show naked bodies or violence.
A good job overall. Maybe a little short on acting ability.
