Review of Nine Queens

Nine Queens (2000)
8/10
Scams growing crescendo
22 August 2013
Nine Queens is a clever movie about cons and liars. Two small criminals embark in a journey to set up their biggest con ever. However, not everything unfolds as planned. All characters involved in the plan want their share of the cake and will try to coerce others to meet their interests. Our two artists must thus find ingenious ways to react and stay on track.

The set of characters involved and the complexity of the scams grow crescendo, making it a captivating movie full of twists and turns. It will engage your brain to keep track of the events, but won't cross the threshold of confusion.

The actors are sympathetic, the direction is solid, and the dialogs are punchy. The plot is convincing and witty. We could challenge its realism, as with any such movie, but it has not obvious holes and is a very good entertainment!

A highly recommended movie for those who like puzzles.
