Starring John C. Reilly, Criminal (2004) is one of those movies about conmen, where you know something more, a bigger con is going on...you can just feel it. And the pendulum keeps swinging back and forth as to who you think is conning who the most.
I like this type of movie, and I liked this one also. Reilly is a good actor, despite recently just playing a buffoon for Will Ferrell. And his sidekick, Diego Luna (from Y Tu Mama Tambien) plays his role perfectly.
I won't let on to who is doing the big con job, but the smaller cons that set up the ending are fun, interesting and a nice progression to the ultimate conclusion. And it is one of those movies that makes you re-evaluate everything you have seen before, and say..."oh, when he was doing that...Wow...good con."
Fun and easy to watch, Criminal is a nice diversion from reality.
