Do I Have Your Confidence

I finally got a chance to see "Confidence" which is directed by James Foley and stars Edward Burns, Rachael Weisz, Morris Chestnut, Luis Guzmán, DustinHoffman, Andy Garcia, and Robert Forrester.

"Confidence" is the story of some mid-level grifters who accidently rip-off a mobster. When they discover their mistake, he's already on to them. Their only hope is to get him his money back by pulling off a major scam under the watchful eye of the police, the mobster, and a special agent hot on their trail.

Doug Jung's excellent script is full of twists and everything in this movie worked for me; the direction, the acting, the music, the cinematography... everything. Special mention should be given to Dustin Hoffman -- he's just perfect in his role as the mobster who was swindled and Rachael Weisz -- she's perfect for her role as well and has never looked more attractive.

You ought to check out this film. It's really good. Trust me, I wouldn't con you.

"Confidence" rates an A
