Overplotted, overcontrived, overshot and overedited.
This is a one sweet sexy sting of a movie.
Identity is suicidally insecure.
What it shares with most of its predecessors is a sterling cast, in this instance almost entirely male, and the willingness of several talented performers to play against type, with entertainingly comic effect.
... Confidence does suffer a bit from some plot devices that haven't been original since The Sting, but it's a top-notch character study and a fun exercise in style.
Surely there is something wrong with a movie that is supposed to make you go Wow! yet instead provokes a great big Huh?
It's the obsession with style that kills this movie. Not that having an obsession with it is the same as having it.
A lazy, paint-by-numbers thriller...
Con man meets the mob. Violent, grown-up tale.
I was entertained, but hardly stunned.
Jammed with double and triple-crosses that make Doug Jung's confusing screenplay secondary to the film's overall look.
While it sometimes fails to live up to its title, Confidence ultimately, wins us over-in short, it dazzlingly does what all good cons are supposed to do.
A conman whose crew accidentally takes the money of a crime kingpin is forced into doing a job for him to pay back the debt. Attempting the same kind of smart, sassy and easygoing charm of the likes of the Ocean's films, Confidence is just a little too generic to really light anyone's fire. Edward Burns is rather too "made for television" to have enough charisma to carry the film, Dustin Hoffman, although a great actor in his day, at his age (and height) cannot do intimidating and easily the best character played by Andy Garcia gets nothing like enough screen time. It does have some charm and wit and is slickly directed by James Foley, but it's just a little too overly familiar and does not have enough in the way of personality or surprises to be considered for the big leagues. If it's an undemanding crime caper you're after and you've run out of Clooney films to watch, you could do a lot worse though.
Super Reviewer
Clever twists and slick humor - not as satisfying upon second viewing though. Edward Burns is charmingly stoic.
A decent heist film in the vein of the Ocean's movies.
