Criminal

Comedy Action Thriller

2004, Movie, 1h 27min

Navigate the con-or-be-conned world of the L.A. grift in this clever caper packed with more twists than a box of pretzels. An extremely odd couple—a young Latino man who will do anything for his family and a 30-something scheming white guy who will do anything to his family—come across one of the most valuable pieces of currency in U.S. history. All they have to do is sell it, which is where the real problems begin. And of course, the only way out is family—the one person who can help them, hates them both: the schemer's sister! Starring Academy Award-nominee John C. Reilly, Diego Luna, Golden Globe-nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jonathan Tucker. Produced by George Clooney and Stephen Soderbergh (Good Night, And Good Luck, Syriana), and written and directed by Gregory Jacobs. For suspense, surprise and a wow ending, catch this Criminal!

John C. Reilly, making a welcome appearance in a lead role, is effective as the older con man, and Diego Luna (...) is winsome as his protégé.

The story is a delightfully convoluted con that keeps you guessing until the very end...
