by far the most important requirement for any film follow confidence trickster be that they must and at least occasionally and be able to pull one over on u and as well a their dumb witted mark and the cop and the mob and ( ideally ) each other . but this film never pull this off . every scam can be see come a mile off ( especially the biggen . ) neither be they very interesting and intricate or sophisticated . perhaps mammet hop to compensate for this with snappy dialogue and complex psychological relationship . if so and he fail . the line be alright and but theyre deliver in such a stilted and unnatural and stylised way that i think perhaps some clever point be be make about u all act all the time . but it wasn not . a for the psychological complexity and the main character a bit repressed and make some ridiculously force freudian slip about her father thinking she a whore and but she get over it . i really like the street scene though . look just like an edward hopper painting .
