Academy Award®-winning actress, Anjelica Huston (Best Supporting Actress, Prizzi's Honor), John Cusak (Martian Child) and Annette Bening (American Beauty) star in this acclaimed hit, directed by Stephen Grears (The Queen), where seduction and betrayal could lead to murder! When small-time cheat Roy Dillon (Cusak) winds up in the hospital following an unsuccessful scam, it sets up a confrontation between his estranged mother Lilly (Huston) and sexy girlfriend Myra (Bening). Both Lilly and Myra are ruthless confidence artists playing the con game in a league far above Roy...and always looking for their next victim! The question soon becomes who's conning who as Roy finds himself caught in a complicated web of passion and mistrust!

This movie made no sense what so ever. The scenes would start of great and lead nowhere. Not worth your time.

Gripping, gritty and suspenseful. A great noir "modern classic"
