1987 con artist movie
Rating: 15/20
Plot: There's an attempted con, another con, then another con, and a few more cons. Everybody was con-fu fighting!
"Everybody was con-fu fighting" should win me a Pulitzer, shouldn't it?
This is entertaining and pulpy stuff from Mamet though it stretches the limits of plausibility a few times. Maybe more than a few times.
The best bit in this movie is a scene involving a water gun after a little poker action. That's probably a spoiler, so you should ignore it.
I have to end this review because I need to pat myself on the back a little more for that "con-fu fighting" line.
