Viewing Notes
Really enjoyed this movie… more than I thought I would. Something about it just worked for me despite the increasing levels of disbelief with the con games. Margot Robbie goes a long way towards this as she lights up the screen and saves the movie from an over abundance of exposition. The whole Super Bowl trick is pretty absurd when Will Smith goes on to explain how it played out.
When everything is a con nothing is real. So nothing that unfolds is a surprise. Still a fun viewing even if the movie completely caves in on itself in the final sequence.
