It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Blistering performances.
