It's "The Grifters" meets "The Gambler" meets "The Sting" when a veteran con man (Will Smith) takes on a new intern (Margot Robbie). Together with some accomplices they skillful bilk millions from unsuspecting marks. Smith's & Robbie's characters develop a mutual attraction to give the plot a little romantic spin. This is a fun film if you like figuring out deception schemes. If you listen during the credits, you may recognize the 1968 Oscar winning theme song from another caper movie, "The Thomas Crown Affair".
Alien gives it 3 "the long con, the little blind mouse, & the inside man" stars out of 4.
