CriticsCritics: 88
AudienceAudience: 8.3
In 1930s America, a novice con artist joins forces with an experienced swindler after a shared friend is killed. Together, they assemble an elaborate scheme to take a fortune from a powerful mobster, while navigating danger, deception, and shifting loyalties.
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like witty crime capers, charismatic partnerships, period style, and elaborate cons; not for you if you need realism, constant action, or tightly grounded plotting.
