The con is on is by far the worst movie of 2018 don't waste your time and your money on this movie bad screenplay , bad directing , and so on but surprisingly great cast of actors and good performances I hope this cast would have done different movie
With a fairly decent group of actors I had faith that this movie could not be as terrible as some people claim, my bad. I'm guessing that they got together and decided to try and make a "caper flick" in one weekend with a budget of about $100. There is even a gunshot that MOVES down about 6 inches between two shots.The plot is inane and the over-acting is ridiculous. Don't waste your time, everyone associated with this should be ashamed, it is literally the quality of a high school project.
I've said it so many times - "It doesn't matter who the director is, who stars in it (and here there are so many talented people) or how good the special effects may be - if it doesn't have a decent script then it will be rubbish." Here's the proof.At one point, Tim Roth's character says; "The charm of this little escapade is rapidly wearing thin." That really sums it up.
I can't figure out what the purpose of this movie was or what it was trying to do. I don't know if it was attempting to display overacting on purpose as a parody of itself or if they were actually trying to be serious. Whatever it was it failed miserably. The result was an awkward movie that I had a hard time watching. It was caught in between something and something else. Very strange that they would even release this the way it turned out. They should have saved themselves some embarrassment and just shoved this one into the archives. It was absolutely terrible on all fronts. Not one good thing I can even think to say about this movie (well maybe that every scene didn't have them smoking fake cigarettes like a lot of others are doing these days) and I'm being generous. This is Hollywood at it's worst but hey, they've been doing a lot of this kind of garbage lately so this is nothing new. This is one of those flicks that almost makes me want to stop wasting my time watching movies. Luckily there are still some decent ones around but this is not one of them. Now I need to go find some deodorizer to get rid of the stink that is still in my nose. What is that smell anyway?
