James Foley directs the slick crime caper Confidence, written by first-time screenwriter Doug Jung. Told in flashback, smooth-talking con man Jake Vig (Edward Burns) relates an elaborate scheme orchestrated by his gang :Gordo (Paul Giamatti), Miles (Brian Van Holt), and Big Al (Louis Lombardi). The crew pulls off a swindling job stealing money from a guy named Lionel (Leland Orser), who turns out to be a mob accountant for the crazy crime boss known as the King (Dustin Hoffman). After the damage has been done, Jake and his crew attempt to pull off an even bigger scam to make up for their mistake. This time the con involves the King's enemy, the mob-connected banker Morgan Price (Robert Forster). Two corrupt cops (Donal Logue and Luis Guzman) join Jake's team while the King appoints his henchman, Lupus (Frankie G.) to oversee the operation. Rachel Weisz plays Lily, Jake's love interest who is also in on the scam. Eventually, Andy Garcia shows up as FBI Agent Gunther Butan, who has been perpetually chasing after Jake. Confidence premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Marty B.

great movie if you have not seen it your making a mistake. This one kind slipped through the cracks in the theatre at was not given the respect it deserves. Similair to the famous movie the "sting" defenitly worth a watch or two.

This movie fell flat for me. The same plot line has been done better in movies like The Sting and the Oceans series. A lot of nudity, but not very sensual. The love scene left me flacid despite having a thing for Rachel Weisz.

good sting plot, liked all the actors performances except Rachel Weisz, she was so cold and aloof, she didn't seem part of the story. Dustin Hoffman as a BAD guy, lots of twists and turns.

Iy was an okay movie. Maybe I expected too much after reading the reviews and maybe it suffers from comparison with the movie "The Sting". But the biggest difficulty I had was the dependence on fortunate chance to move the movie to its conclusion.

Sophisitcated, Witty, Clever, are just a few of the praises I can offer this oustanding film. The acting is top knotch. Edward Burns is at his best. A must see movie!!

Confidence is a great sleeper film. Does anyone remember seeing this movie at the theater? If you like the Usual Suspects try this film out. It starts out with a action packed first scene and continues throughout the film. I would recommend this film to anyone I know who loves a good twisted plot, quirky characters, and a smart set of actors.
