Serviceable, not great
27 March 2003 | by (San Jose, CA) – See all my reviews

William Warren plays a fraud who must choose between his girl and his fraudulent - but lucrative - profession. Interesting use of crooked camera angles to depict crooked dealings. Warren displays a wider acting range than in other movies.
