Query: Despite the good work of Weisz and Giamatti, this stinks.

Lackluster con movie that steals its angles other than create a new ones. Ed Burns can't act his way out of his New York stereotypical character, and Dustin Hoffman is really not in the movie. The only actors who did their jobs were Rachel Weisz who probably gave the best performance in this turkey of a con film because she at least keep you interested in her character and Paul Giamatti, who would have made a much better leading man than Ed Burns because he at least knows how to act.Other than the good performances of Paul Giamatti and Rachel Weisz , the movie really stinks. Avoid.
