The Dark Side Of Grift
The characters aren't as endearing as in most other films of this genre, but they are most certainly interesting, adding a sharp & jagged dimension to a theme that has swayed a little too much on the fluffier side.
Here, all the leads wear their dark sunglasses not so much to look cool, but more to shadow the deceits that lie behind their grifting smiles.
