There's nothing stars John C. Reilly and Diego Luna can do to make you forget you're watching the same story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2019

Filmmaker Gregory Jacobs, making his debut here, delivers an opening half hour that's perhaps not as compelling as it could (or should) have been...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 23, 2017

A witless high-concept action film that's forgettable.

| Original Score: C | Sep 16, 2017

This con man movie is best for older teens and up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Like Richard Widmark, [John C. Reilly] is an excellent character actor who can convey both likeability and pathetical desperation simultaneously.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2005

Those viewers who watched NUEVE REINAS beforehand will be affected with increasingly unpleasant feeling of deja vu.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 2, 2005

Con film aficionados won't find the picture revolutionary, but even they should enjoy the structure, craftsmanship and a nice supporting performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jun 2, 2005

A second-generation photocopy of a David Mamet cryptogram.

| Original Score: C+ | May 3, 2005

[It's] a safer, watered-down, but still enjoyable redo.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2005

...the interaction of the movie's two leads, Reilly and Luna, is so good you might enjoy it for their performances alone.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 8, 2005

Considerando-se que o timo Nove Rainhas foi realizado h apenas alguns anos, esta refilmagem soa desnecessria, por mais interessante que seja seu roteiro.

... a fairly straightforward remake of the Argentine hit Nine Queens (2000)

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2004

Reilly is perhaps the most amazing fusion of boy and man we have in American movies.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2004

Well acted and intriguing...

Full Review | Original Score: B | Oct 24, 2004

It isn't quite as witty or gritty as Nine Queens, but if you didn't see that film, then see it now that it's in English.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 19, 2004

Like a smash-and-grab job, the movie gets in, springs the con and gets out quick - leaving the viewer to replay the twists on his or her own time.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 8, 2004

While the twists at the end are a little more predictable here than in the first film, it's still an assured work, especially considering that it comes from a first-time director.
