The Con Is On (2018)

Despite the fact the main characters are actors I usually like, the movie itself is a disaster. The plot seemed kind of interesting at the beginning, it presented some good elements, cars, houses, beautiful photography and beautiful location but everything was just superficial and the characters' storyline doesn't get deeper, real nor interesting. The script seems messy and the action is going nowhere. I got bored halfway through it and still expected something interesting to happen but there wasn't a single interesting moment during the 90 minutes of the movie. It lacks consistency and purpose.

Fmovies: After 'The Disaster Artist' something might have changed. And maybe now, some amongst us, might feel inclined to give a second chance to things that once we should have simply called 'trash'.

In this view, and in this view only (and only if you think you might be one of these persons), I could recommend you to watch this film.

The con is on is by far the worst movie of 2018 don't waste your time and your money on this movie bad screenplay , bad directing , and so on but surprisingly great cast of actors and good performances I hope this cast would have done different movie

The Con Is On fmovies. Wow considering who is in it and how BAD it is .... speechless.

Where to begin. The opening credits were lifted from Catch Me if You Can and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It fails to capture the essence of either. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, half of which are title sequence, you become quickly aware that the editing was created by Stevie Wonder's stand in, Blind Freddie. Blind Freddie is actually only 10 years old and suffers from narcolepsy, evidence of which can be seen in the panning shots which are supposed to create a segway to the next scene but linger way too long. The acting is, for the want of a better term, dire. It is quite clear that most of the actors are low on cash and have done a turn for a quick injection in their pocket books, which only helps to seal the fate of this abomination. I liked most of the actors in this movie prior to seeing it, now their credibility along with my admiration have dispersed quicker than a whale turd. Whoever suggested this is a movie to stick at an enjoy, or the viewer has to work to enjoy, must be from the cast, crew, family or financiers. Truly awful suggestion.

I've said it so many times - "It doesn't matter who the director is, who stars in it (and here there are so many talented people) or how good the special effects may be - if it doesn't have a decent script then it will be rubbish." Here's the proof.

At one point, Tim Roth's character says; "The charm of this little escapade is rapidly wearing thin." That really sums it up.
