Con man meets the mob. Violent, grown-up tale.

There are maybe two scenes in the movie where I didn't think all of Burns' lesser qualities were in evidence, and as a character that appears in almost every scene to only have two where I didn't dislike him heavily, that's a bad thing.

While Confidence is packed with all the ballsy bombast of Glengarry, it lacks the heart-stopping tension.

Overplotted, overcontrived, overshot and overedited.

Aug 15, 2011Starring Edward Burns, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia and Rachel Weisz, directed by James Foley, and written by Doug Jung.A group of grifters rip off their latest mark and celebrate, while de facto leader of the group Jake Vig (Edward Burns) explains the art of the con. When one of the four is found shot to death, the other three learn that the latest money they stole actually belonged to a local L.A. crime lord called The King (Dustin Hoffman). Jake proposes that the grifters work for the King and steal money from Morgan Price (Robert Forster), a rival who owns a bank.With a clever screenplay but a little with "too much talk" this is a well made film.Andre T Super Reviewer

Jul 09, 2011Ed Burns is Jake, the leader of a band of con men who rips off a mob boss (played by Dustin Hoffman). Now to pay back Hoffman, they have to try and con one of the most important people in the city. Rachel Weisz plays the street thief Burns takes under his wing who serves as bait. Paul Giamatti is great as Burn's cohort and Andy Garcia has a nice bit as a grungy, yet ruthless federal agent.Deb S Super Reviewer

Jul 27, 2010Clever twists and slick humor - not as satisfying upon second viewing though. Edward Burns is charmingly stoic.Alice S Super Reviewer

Apr 24, 2009<font face="arial" size=2><center><b>"In every con, sooner or later, somebodys gonna ask the right questions."</b></center><br> A medium paced con film that should NEVER even be compared to Oceans Eleven. (O11 is fast paced and upbeat, this one just likes to take a power walk.) An all star cast ensemble that delivers just the right amount of ear catching dialogues. Starts of rather choppy but it picks up after a while. <br><br>So its nothing fresh, but its quite an interesting ride. Sure it has a few minor dents, but its also got a golden easter egg. Want to find out what it is? Watch it from start to finish.<br><br>I absolutely love the soundtrack! Christophe Beck, Fischerspooner, Groove Armanda, Zero 7 and Coldplay are just a few of the names on the OST. Check it out!!<br><br>What not to expect: Gun totting action<br><br><b>Director: James Foley<br>Rated R</b>Ginny Super Reviewer
