Action/Thriller-Joe Moore is an old criminal who is married to younger Fran Moore, who is also in on his crimes. His team, which include him, Bobby, and Pinky (played by Ricky Jay) are in for another heist. Joe works for greedy Bergman who isn't going to pay him (aka he swindeled Joe) until he does Bergman a final heist with Swiss gold. In addition, Bergman doesn't trust Joe to be honest, so he puts Jimmy Silk, his nephew, on the job to stay honest. Now Joe must get the gold while keeping his wife and staying away from the cops. Twists and turns ensue.
7/10-A fine movie. Gene Hackman (as always) is great, while the rest of the team is OK too. However, Rebecca Pidgeon was stiff and rigid (I'm not familiar with her work-is she like that in all her movies?) and didn't do a good job. The twists and turns were unpredictable (except for a few). Dave Mamet also wrote it.
Rated R for language.
