The Con is On (2018)
8/10
Not being understood as a Post Noir masterpiece!
14 October 2022
I liked the movie as much as "Last Looks" (2021). The reason is that the director has the courage to present the narrative in a post-noir (neo-noir) style that is very difficult to understand. All Hollywood clichés and stereotypical characters are used in the movie. This amazing cast is sure they are aware of which movie they are playing in. Contrary to the comments about the movie, Tim Roth and Uma Thurman in particular are amazing. The film makes fun of the film industry in its own narrative. On the other hand, it reminds us that today's cinema is an art. I was very surprised when I learned that the production was completed in 2015 / release date is 2018. The expectations of the audience from the films are different. Movies are no longer watched in the movie theaters. Digital platforms are domained by Generation Z and Y consumers. Congratulations to James Oakley for his movie! I think it will be one of the films that those who are interested in the art of cinema like me will one day discover and add to their cult archives. I wish more movies like this were made. Generation X moviegoers like me are longing for such movies!
