“Twists and turns, thatu0026#39;s what makes a story, whether itu0026#39;s a book or a film. Since Hitchcocku0026#39;s superb thrillers, I like to think that Iu0026#39;ve seen most if not all movies of the genre, yet this one really surprised me that much I had to see it again right away. The plot is very original, but the sometimes staccato dialogs and use of high speed American slang language is sometimes difficult to understand for a non-American.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNevertheless I enjoyed watching Jake Vig(Edward Burns)very much, his coolness reminds me of James Stewart and the catch of the film reminded me a little bit of Swordfish-Travoltau0026#39;s latest and one of his best movies ever. Dustin Hoffmanu0026#39;s character is very convincing as an independent gangster whose money-collector gets involved in a scam and looses $150.000,- to a group of four slick hustlers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s this team, which members are so diverse yet fit together so perfectly that it makes me want to see another film starring the same con men, director Mr. James Foley, please give us a sequel…………”
