Confidence 2003 123movies

Watch: Confidence 2003 123movies, Full Movie Online – Jake Vig leads a small Los Angeles based team of grifters, each member who has his specific role in each con: Jake is the main man, Miles the adversary, Big Al the scared innocent bystander, and Gordo the dead shooting victim. He also has in his pockets crooked LAPD detectives Lloyd Whitworth and Omar Manzano who basically play themselves as needed. Beyond getting the money, the basic goal of each con is to ensure the mark is so scared by what has happened – usually being an accomplice in a “murder” – that he won’t come back looking for the money. Jake learns the hard way that their latest mark, Louis Dolby, who they fleeced for $150,000, was carrying money for a criminal named King, who takes a no prisoners approach in getting even, he who knows who stole his money. Instead of returning the $150,000 to King, money which he no longer has anyway, Jake convinces King to parlay that money and a bit more into a bigger con against a mark of King’s choice, that person being banker Morgan Price, a second generation mobster. The total take for this con is to be $5 million. Beyond co-opting a couple of inside people for this con, King wants one of his own men inserted – Lupus – and Jake also enlists the work of a female pickpocket he recently ran across named Lily, to who he is attracted. During the process, a small wrinkle occurs when they learn that Special Agent Gunther Butan with the US Customs Agency, an old adversary of Jake’s, is currently after him, which means they either have to call off the international mission or watch more carefully their movements, with Jake not to be the one to carry any money across the border. But with a group of con artists working for the first time with new players, a question becomes are there any inside cons at play, especially in this case where Jake has more of a personal stake than usual..
Plot: What Jake Vig doesn’t know just might get him killed. A sharp and polished grifter, Jake has just swindled thousands of dollars from the unsuspecting Lionel Dolby with the help of his crew. It becomes clear that Lionel wasn’t just any mark, he was an accountant for eccentric crime boss Winston King. Jake and his crew will have to stay one step ahead of both the criminals and the cops to finally settle their debt.

Worth seeing for the cast.
“Confidence” is an ultra slick drama about con artists with a twist laden screenplay by Doug Jung. Edward Burns stars as experienced con man Jake Vig, who works with a small team. As the movie opens, they’re scamming a loser accountant (Leland Orser) who just so happens to work for a crime kingpin, “The King” (Dustin Hoffman). Naturally, the kingpin wants revenge, but he and Vig work out a deal: Vig and his team will pull a scam on a financial high roller (Robert Forster) whom the kingpin resents.

For its duration, this is actually a rather involving story that holds ones’ attention, although given the way that it plays out, and is ultimately resolved, it may have viewers thinking that the story wouldn’t hold up to any intense scrutiny. There may indeed be a dearth of truly likable characters, but these people are still fascinating in spite of themselves. As in any film of this kind, it is amusing to see these seemingly intelligent schemers work their way through the steps of the con, and try to figure out how to solve problems. Director James Foley guides it all in style; with the help of his editor, Stuart Levy, he crafts a quickly moving scenario that has some mildly amusing surprises to dole out along the way.

It is a pleasure to watch this group of actors at work. Burns is a tight lipped anti-hero, Rachel Weisz is tantalizingly sexy as the new “shill” in his team, Andy Garcia is a hoot as a scruffy federal agent on Burns’ tail, and Dustin Hoffman makes the most of his role as a creepy, somewhat irreverent crime figure. Morris Chestnut, Louis Lombardi, Paul Giamatti, Brian Van Holt, Donal Logue, Luis Guzman, Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister, Franky G, John Carroll Lynch, and Robert Pine all deliver solid performances, with Giamatti in particular standing out. He offers some comedic content as a man who’s fussy enough to not like using public restrooms.

Overall, entertaining stuff that doesn’t set out to muck about with any formulas established in previous Hollywood features about con artists.

Seven out of 10.
