Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is one of those movies where the cast can be trully misleading in what concerns the quality of the movie. Confronted with miserable and disconnected dialogues and a narrative that looks more like a patchwork, unrelated, lackiing any aesthetic or dramatic notion, one can only expect the actors to have been generously paid to submit to such a poorly produced film.Such a cast - with actors who have proven themselves several times, over the yeras in both cinema and television - deserved a far more inteligent and challenging film. It looks like as if the Director just grabed a series of clichés from parts previously played by some of these actors and poured out senseless into a narrative with so much more potential. Tim Roth appears as drunk and desoriented,Sofia Vergara a derranged over the edge woman, Maggie Q as a cold blooded killer... well, you get the point.Being advertised and titled as a "con movie" kind of film, I was expecting, action, some witty and cuning dialogs, maybe a few satirical remarks and some action... well, not even close. What a waste of good actors!The real con was using fine actors to attract people to see such a mediocre 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

This is not a good movie to see if you have a drug or alcohol problem. Tim Roth is chugging Vodka in too many scenes, and various people pop pills or cut cocaine as their need arises. Gambling and theft is a way of life and many icons are smashed. I laughed out loud a few times. Some scenes shot at Chateau Marmont where John Belushi snorted his last snort.Anti Hollywood and Movie star madness of any generation. If you are in the industry, forget it. Has very cute dog who was the real star!

There's a great script here struggling to get out. Alas, it fails to even open the door.Writer/director! When will producers learn!? I'm guessing Never so we continue to be plagued by these half-a**ed screenplays that desperately need a 2nd or 3rd eye to curb the writer's sense of brilliance! (That's irony for our American friends.)Let's start with the title. It's not a movie about a con. Jesus! C'mon guys, at least get the terminology right. It's more a sort of comedy caper/heist movie, but it's not even that.The worst character by far is Tim Roth's Peter. No doubt Roth enjoyed playing him although it would be as challenging as waking up in the morning. He's so lacking in couth it's absolutely impossible to imagine he could ever have gotten involved with Alice Eve or Uma Thurman, zany and cracked though their characters may be.Maggie Q must have had a similar challenge with her character.Highlight of the movie is Stephen Fry playing, well, Stephen Fry's "Dear boy" character, but he does it so naturally and so well. Although not a major character he does help redeem it from the pit.It's not totally unwatchable. Well, if you're looking for a good plot or well-defined characters or well, anything, then it is...Okay, it has good production values and a stellar cast but they're simply wasted, wasted, wasted.I didn't think it was quite as bad as other reviews suggest which I find hard to believe! But it is extremely disappointing.
