I was really looking forward to this one.
Solidly acted, with Lohman miraculously taking top honors away from one of my favorite actors Sam Rockwell and Cage (who I've always liked but here does nothing I haven't seen him do before).
The problem is that the film's plot is so predictable that I personally felt my intelligence was insulted. Those who have seen any of Mamet's 3 superb con men flicks will likely see everything coming halfway through the film.
