With so many high standing peers (both contemporary and classic), it just doesn't have the muscle or the nous to make an impression.

Reviews
Paul Gerstenberger’s amusingly waggish screenplay keeps one attuned.
Fakers is pleasant, passable entertainment, even if it's all too lightweight.
just doesn't have enough pep or twists to maintain interest in the long run.
The scenario isn't entirely plausible, but the actors are engaging and you can't beat the running time.
Such artless inattention to the con man’s craft might be overlooked if any of the characters or performers had the personality to pull one over on us, the audience.
This idiotic crime comedy begins as a heated Sophia Petrillo flashback only to continue as a lobotomized Guy Ritchie caper.
