Confidence - DVD

I am a tough person on grading movies. I can understand people not liking some of my choices and understand! No one I know well liked Hugo Pool! This one is truly a clever one. I really enjoy Edward Burns and think he is multitalented! Warning, I hated anything Star Wars and think Blade Runner was the Best of its type! Bill Culotta

I enjoyed watching it and you will too if you like con movies, but when things with many moving parts seem to work out certain ways, it just bugs me because life just isn't that way.

liked it

I must echo the writer who says s/he has watched this over and over. I too have repeatedly watched this wondeful movie. I come across few people who have ever seen it. This is a movie that begins with Ed Byrnes saying "So, I'm dead." His narration reminded me in feeling of the very fine narration by Nicholas Cage in Raising Arizona or Mogran Freeman's in Shawshank Redemption. There is complexity here in the story and noir poetry in the dialog and in the character's movements on screen. I watched the movie several times before I really felt that "I got it". And the movie became more fun every time I watched it. I have a top ten list of movies that I wander around with - this movie has never left my top ten. I do recommend it - if you liked Rasing Arizona, if you liked Shawshank and you liked House of Cards - you'll like this - but don't don't expect to 'get it" the first time thru - that is part of what makes it so much fun.

You either love this movie or hate it. There's no ground in between for anything else. I bought the movie for the price and for Rachel Weisz Here the movie starts with the confidence crew ripping off the wrong kind of guy, a mob money man. Then when caught they are forced to pull off the ultimate con, getting back at the guy the mob boss hates. The only trouble is they plan to rip off him too, along with anyone else who's targeted. Works well till the end when you think the leader of the group is murdered by the lone female of the group. Big surprise, he's not really dead. No, not a zombie, he's just not dead. Get it if you can find it cheap.

O11 came out in 2001, this in 2003. They made it with discount actors: good face recognition but not huge stars. The Pedigree of the writer and dierctor is mediocre, and it shows here. (The exception is James Foley directed the superb Glengarry Glen Ross, but of course that was written by David Mamet based on his award-winning play. Accordingly, it was blocked and paced like a play: little direction required.)Entertaining but average.

This is a movie about a group of con artists and a giant size con they're plotting to pull off.---If you like a flick with lots of twists and turns, some edge, some violence and some humor all rolled into one then you'll probably like this. ---Its got a great cast--Edward Burns,Andy Garcia,Dustin Hoffman, and Rachel 4 a little eye candy.--Its light fair yet pretty good with only a couple of overacted scenes . I love the interaction between Burns character and Hoffmans character.--- Its not an academy award winner but its fairly entertaining if you like the subject matter. I found the DVD picture quality fine.---I give it 4 stars

This DVD arrived on 10/28/20 in good condition. It opened and functioned with no problems. Looking forward to seeing it with all the top actors. Who can go wrong I hope. Thank You - JIMI
