Title: The con is...on you!
Review: I liked Ed Burns "Sidewalks of NY" more than this one. Yet Confidence is the kind of movie you'd watch on a boring sunday afternoon, when there's nothing good on TV. It wants to be smart, but doesn gets there. The writing is poor, and motivations of the main characters are weak. Would you run a scam operation from your own home? They use their place to do cons, thinking the guy will be too scared to come back!!!dusting Hoffman doesn't sell it as a mafioso, but with such bad writing, he did what he could. This one movie that should have never been done. With so many better con movies out there like Matchstickmen, Ocean's Eleven and the like, we didn't need Confidence. Christopher Walken's "Scam" with Lorraine Bracco (from the Sopranos) is a much enjoyable and better movie than this one. At least in Scam there's chemistry between the leads, and strong motivations for their actions.
Is the review positive or negative?
