"See, you've reached an unethical conclusion. You think you want out, but you don't. One last con. "
The quirky little tale of Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and his brother Bloom (Adrien Brody), two life-long con men who decide to retire from the biz. But Stephen urges Bloom to join him in one last “big one” –- swindling money from heiress Penelope (Rachel Weisz). The only problem is, Bloom begins to fall in love with the wealthy young woman and appears to be torn in his allegiance.
The romp takes place all over the globe: Japan, Mexico, Prague, New Jersey.
Also appearing are Rinko Kikuchi as the beautiful but mysterious demolition expert Boom Boom; Robbie Coltrane as the curator; and Maximilian Schell as the evil Devil Dog.
Written and directed by Rian Johnson.
Run time: 1 hour, 53 minutes
Rated PG-13 for violence, some sensuality and brief strong language.
My personal rating: B
