A tongue in cheek drama about a man down on his luck and therefore turned con artist. We're off to one major gut-wrench after the other. His luck always miraculously returns, though. That is, when he doubles down after already losing everything. A well disguised comic relief, see. Despite quite a few delicious genre bulls-eyes, the movie stubbornly suffers from a main character who avoids the issue he's trying to solve. But the story still floats, thanks to that they've together with the novelist, clearly gone the extra mile to get their vision crystallized.
