Review of The Swindle

The Swindle (1997)
5/10
I was swindled out of 100 minutes

"Swindle", now making the rounds on cable, is a comedy/light-drama subtitled French flick which tells of the activities of a pair of unlikely con-artists, a man/woman couple at opposite ends of middle age. The upside of this obviously contrived game of "whose got the money" is some pretty scenery and some almost funny tounge-in-cheek humor. The downside is just about everything else; fabricated, monotonous, superficially developed characters, inconsistencies, etc. A mildly interesting watch with some potential for Charbrol fans and other into French flicks.
