(1 - 41) of 41 OFCS Rating: 76% Fresh Page   1   "certainly rivals con-film king Mamet for the choppy, colloquial crispness of its dialogue, but lacks something of the intricacy of Mamet's plotting. "   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel 4.5/5 "Stunningly original sting movie that puts the majority of sting movies to shame."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French B "...engaging material with brisk pacing and breezy style... [Includes cast and director interviews]"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 2.5/4 "Even an occasionally clever story about thieves needs a beating heart at its center to keep audiences from feeling cheated."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger C- "Confidence is too familiar a grifter flick to take me for a sucker."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/5 "Even if a good heist/grift movie struggles in places, a good payoff will still make it work and that is definitely the case here."   Film Threat   Don R. Lewis 1.5/4 "A tedious and twisting slog that, by the end, closes its fist on thin air. There is not a moment of true depth--character, narrative, or otherwise--in a single frame of this 98-minute waste of time."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 1.5/4 "Confidence missteps in so many ways that you don’t have to be a chess player to see ten moves ahead."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "It goes quickly, has a neat little ditty of a performance by Dustin Hoffman and features some con man trickery of average entertainment value."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov B- "Doesn't live up to the best examples of the con-game genre, but thanks to the efforts of the colorful cast, the sleight-of-hand is sufficiently dexterous to make it a pleasant, if empty, diversion."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Confidence is a nifty caper flick exploring the greed that animates con men and the marks they prey upon with such gleeful abandon."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "For those who enjoy movies about heists, cons, and double-crosses, this will satisfy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Con thriller ensemble is cozy and cute -- and perhaps a little too content with how familiar it is."   Netflix   James Rocchi 7/10 "As long as you don't expect that, or mind such material and can accept its minor problems, you'll probably enjoy this offering."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/5 "On one level, it doesn't *seem* new and familiar, and yet here it is, feeling so anyway."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/4 "This isn't the worst film of its kind, but it isn't the best either. "Confidence" is only Hollywood's most recent attempt at a cookie-cutter sting/heist film... If you want something other than junk food, go rent "Diggstown" again."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3.5/5 "Even if it has been done before, it can be done again as long as it's done well. And Confidence does it pretty well."   Film Threat   Kevin Carr 3/5 "Sit back and enjoy the sharp performances and stylish ambiance that are clearly this film's real reason for existing."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "So fun and well paced that you'll caught in its web before long"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "As slick and sharp as an Armani suit."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Confidence has a nifty scam at its core, but it also has enough confidence of its own to let the fine performances be the real star of the show."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 3/4 "Confidence has a nifty scam at its core, but it also has enough confidence of its own to let the fine performances be the real star of the show."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "The pleasures of this movie are not so much in the plot as in the small moments of character. That's where the real surprises and freshness are."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Podemos até admirar a engenhosidade do tal 'golpe perfeito', mas não nos importamos muito com seus resultados."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca B "It's a good film that strives to be great, a sharp piece of noir that can't quite sucker us the way the best in the genre do."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 4/5 "Seemingly inspired by Pulp Fiction, The Sting and anything presented by the word processor of David Mamet...yet still the flick entertains in its own right. And wait till you see this CAST!"   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "If you don't look too closely and pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, the film delivers a clever confidence game, if not much else."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker A- "As tasty treats for the brain go, this one’s quick, stylish and, last but not least, confident."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "While heavily indebted to Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," this is a dandy, double-crossing, duplicitious little crime caper that's slick, stylized and snazzy. Why is it that a well-crafted con can be so satisfying?"   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "Proof positive--if proof were needed--that James Foley, when he's at the top of his game, is at the top of the game."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf "Director James Foley has taken the heist genre to new heist with his latest film, CONFIDENCE, a slick film that has twist and turns that will leave you enthusiastic at the end"   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales "They meet cute when she picks his pocket; Jake admires her nerve, if not exactly her skill, and he makes an offer, Walter Neff-ishly: "I'm talking about a grift, and it pays well.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 7/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf B- Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
