- Synopsis
- When professional con man Richard Gaddis (Reilly) meets wannabe huckster Rodrigo (Luna) in a casino, he decides to take him on as an apprentice. But who’s conning whom?
This is an English-language version of the Argentine hit "Nine Queens" (2000) by Fabián Bielinsky, which starred Ricardo Darín ("Son of the Bride"), Gastón Pauls, Leticia Brédice and Tomás Fonzi in the roles now taken by John C. Reilly, Diego Luna, Maggie Gyllenhall and Jonathan Tucker, respectively.- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The cast is brilliant, not least of all Reilly -- vaguely despicable, smooth as an oil slick and altogether mesmerizing in the most impressive screen performance he's yet given."
-
"The movie is fast and fun. Best of all are the actors, who likewise seem to know they've lucked"
-
"Jacobs keeps the action moving rapidly and gets solid performances from an ensemble cast, especially the rumpled Reilly."
-
"'Criminal' is happy to reprise Fabian Bielinsky's original note for note, and it's a listless, dutiful affair -- a cover version played out of obligation, not inspiration."
-
"Just as exciting and socially vivid as Bielinsky's. Yet, somehow it's more stressful. The American characters practically sweat desperation."
