This film is entertaining to watch, but real life value will elude you.Based on a true story of two guys that get caught in a scam, it's fascinating to watch how they show the business world. It's declared greasy and image-heavy, with the shallow characters walking proof. They never develop in personality, the finale is horrendous, and the plot grows in a strange way. The action is amazing, and the story these two guys went through is spellbinding... But the film leans on it too much! Kevin Spacey plays his normal typecast, as an almost refreshing reminder of "21" and "Catch Me If You Can." Overall, this movie is perfect to watch while cleaning the house. You'll pay attention in interest, but the flawed effort to tell a good story can't hide your dust on the railing.
Not a bad movie. Acceptable acting, directing. And even the writing was ok. IF .. And it's a big IF. IF the true story wasn't already so dam interesting. The basically fictionalized account of what actually happened is soooooo far from the truth. Find the documentary on YouTube if you want the truth.
So the movie plays of in the 80's and suddenly they talked about Facebook and Google "wow" can that be.... not even Facebook and Google realised!
Story is based on true events. Characters are interesting but portrayed without much depth. Casting on the other hand: Emma plays another same character. Kevin carries the movie. Egerton show really great performance. Ansel could step up a bit but good acting.
