Title: Truly awful
Review: The plot is both illogical and incredibly formulaic. It's like they strung a bunch of overused gangster movie cliches together. In general, the characters are all "types" of one kind or another. Irritating cardboard cutouts yapping cliches at each other.Dustin Hoffman has been in some great movies, but this is a low point. Although he is the only actor in the movie who at least attempts to be original. You can see that he's trying to bring something to his character, but he just seems to be trying too hard.If you want to watch a movie about con artists, try the brilliant House of Games, or The Grifters, which is excellent.
