 Confidence (DVD) ... Weisz ... / DVD released 16 September, 2003 at Lions Gate / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, NTSC, Widescreen / Bathed in self-conscious cool, Confidence is a heist caper in which the heist is unimportant. As you might expect from Glengarry Glen Ross director James Foley, this pulpy concoction is more interested in giving good actors a lot of hip, salty dialogue as they scheme their way to the royal scam. It's a poor man's Ocean's Eleven, just as enjoyable in its own way, beginning when con artist Jake (Edward Burns) discovers he's accidentally stolen from an eccentric crime boss (Dustin Hoffman, oozing threat in a fine character turn). Promising to make amends by pulling the biggest con of his career, Jake adds a feisty pickpocket (Rachel Weisz) to his crew, which includes scene-stealer Paul Giammatti and Andy Garcia as a dishevelled FBI agent (or is he?). With a cast like this you can't go wrong, but Confidence cons itself into thinking it's original, while Burns's abundant voice-overs state the obvious and plot twists unfold with minimal surprise. --Jeff ShannonNewest Review: ... can only rely on himself to sort everything out.

The sexy female con-artist is entertaining. All the actors/actresses make the film fun and enjoyable.
The plot is complexed and convoluted. I think the story was thought out very well and you can' make out what's going to happen at the end. However the film isn't really about much, but the great plot makes up for that. Some parts of the film I also found boring, however other bits I found very interesting.

This film is about a man called Jake Vig and a group of con-artists and they are about to pull the greatest con yet. However the plan back-fires and can only rely on himself to sort everything out. The acting is good. Ed Burns (plays the lead role in the film) does a good job as playing a lead role and Dustin Hoffman appears a few times, showing his great performance. The sexy female con-artist is entertaining. All the actors/actresses make the film fun and enjoyable. The plot is complexed and convoluted.

?Confidence? was a movie I was keen to go to the cinema to see last year when it came out. The trailers were good, the cast looked great, and I went along. The main star is Ed Burns, who seems to be hot stuff right now. He has already starred with Tom Hanks in ?Saving Private Ryan? and with Robert de Niro in ?Fifteen minutes?. He has the look of a grittier Ben Affleck but, in my opinion, and many others, is a much better actor. Burns has written and directed his own feature films (?Sidewalks of New York? is probably the best known), so he?s much more than just an actor in any case. In ?Confidence? he plays a character called Jake Vig, an ... Read the complete review
