The Con is On (2018)
1/10
A dreadful movie and a complete waste of acting talent - just got conned!
31 July 2018
This is one of those movies where the cast can be trully misleading in what concerns the quality of the movie.

Confronted with miserable and disconnected dialogues and a narrative that looks more like a patchwork, unrelated, lackiing any aesthetic or dramatic notion, one can only expect the actors to have been generously paid to submit to such a poorly produced film.

Such a cast - with actors who have proven themselves several times, over the yeras in both cinema and television - deserved a far more inteligent and challenging film. It looks like as if the Director just grabed a series of clichés from parts previously played by some of these actors and poured out senseless into a narrative with so much more potential.

Tim Roth appears as drunk and desoriented,Sofia Vergara a derranged over the edge woman, Maggie Q as a cold blooded killer... well, you get the point.

Being advertised and titled as a "con movie" kind of film, I was expecting, action, some witty and cuning dialogs, maybe a few satirical remarks and some action... well, not even close. What a waste of good actors!

The real con was using fine actors to attract people to see such a mediocre film..
