Just when you thought movies like The Sting and other capers would never make it to Hollywood of this generation... You were wrong! This movie is like Edward Burns’ character Jake Vig, really really (yeah that really) good looking man in a really good looking suit that doesn’t make sense with you. Something is wrong.. stirring in your mind...what is it... Stop. You won’t be able to put your finger on it until the end. Jake Vig (Burns) is a con artist. His gang of actors in life’s greatest play is underrated actor Paul Giamatti (Gordo), Brian Van Holt (Miles) and Louis Lombardi (Big Al). They stage elaborate schemes and make money. The only one who doesn’t know it’s a set up is the target. Unfortunately, one grift goes wrong...they took money from an accountant.. a quasi mob bosses accountant. Cue Dustin Hoffman.. Hoffman... ahh.. this guy needs to lay off the caffiene and come back to planet Earth. His character, the King, is a quirky, ADHD, is-he-gay-or-not kind of guy. Love, leave him, anyway you look at it, he’s the reason for the whole movie. He wants his money back and Vig strikes a deal with him.. Why? Because he wants to know who the King had kill Big Al. Friends don’t let friends die unavenged. Then there’s Rachel Weisz. Remember that super good looking Brit from The Mummy and About a Boy? She’s baaack. Super hot and uber delicious Weisz is a pick pocket that gets snared by Vig for the grift to get King’s money back. She and Burns literally burn up the screen. Check the jewelry store scene and try to disagree. So what’s the problem? Well, there’s Andy Garcia I’m-an-agent-that’s-been-chasing-Vig-for-years character, Gunther Butan. He’s the wrench of Vig’s clockwork scheme. Some slip ups: Weisz sometimes forgets she has a British accent, but she’s forgiven because she heartbreakingly beautiful. Writer Doug Jung leaves some holes in the dialogue but guess what, it works. Hoffman is in the movie, but his thinly veiled attraction to Burns is comic relief that the audience needs. Wrap up- expect the unexpected and appreciate that Shakespeare was right-life is one big giant play. Recommendation: The Spanish Prisoner with a very dramatic and effective Steve Martin.
