Criminal

Day 76 - 3/17/09 - Movie #73

BEFORE: Happy St. Patrick's Day! I couldn't find a very Irish film on my list, so I picked a scam movie starring John C. Reilly. He's Irish, right?

THE PLOT: Two con artists try to swindle a currency collector by selling him a counterfeit copy of an extremely rare currency bill.

AFTER: This is another of those great, twisty, double-cross/triple-cross "Scam within a scam" flicks - where you're never sure just who's zoomin' who. And it's great when the scams turn out to be more complex than you thought. You want to go back and watch the film again, to see just how intricately people were set up. I can't say any more without spoiling the plot...

RATING: 7 out of 10 briefcases
