Reviews
Eastwood's longtime lenser Jack Green makes a decent feature debut with a well-acted comedy-adventure that in its good moments recalls such classics as The Sting and The Grifters.
Interesting slice-of-life about a deliberately little-known pocket of American culture.
Fascinating slice-of-life drama about a tightly knit clan of con men.
I was disappointed that it couldn't follow its genuinely good and original first half with a more interesting coda.
