Confidence
A good entry to the tired genre of conman
movies, Edward Burns delivers one of his
best acting jobs yet as a grifter with a flair
for elaborate scams. When his latest
crew inadvertently rips off a crime kingpin
(an extremely sleazy Dustin Hoffman), he
and his cohorts are forced to pull off the
con of a lifetime. The film does a good job
of hiding its eventualities, and
performances from Burns, Hoffman and
the great Paul Giamatti keep things
humming. Hoffman hasn’t been this
disgusting since Midnight
Cowboy’s Ratso Rizzo. Burns hasn’t
been this good since Saving Private
Ryan.
