    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Roy Palmer's wife was played by Louis Gossett, Jr.'s real-life wife at the time, Cyndi James Gossett.
    • Goofs
      Roy Palmer was leaning against the ropes between each round in the first few fights; fighters don't do that, since it makes the arm muscles tense and sore. As a fighter, Palmer should have known better.
    • Quotes

      Gabriel Caine: Do you know the difference between a hustler and a good con-man?

      Fitz: No.

      Gabriel Caine: A hustler has to get out of town as quick as he can, but a good con-man - he doesn't have to leave until he wants to.

    One of the best con movies you will ever see.
    this is a superb movie that really should have been seen by many many more people than it clearly has been. The best James Woods performance I have seen , superb support from Oliver Platt, Bruce Dern and - well, everyone in it. The script is tight, sharp, incredibly clever and very very funny. I'm not a fan of boxing movies, don't let it put you off. yes, the sting ultimately revolves around a fight, well, ten fights, to be precise, against just one man - but really it's a hugely satisfying con movie that ultimately becomes about vengeance, paying for your actions and finding the morality amongst the money. It's brilliant. Buy it/get it from a video shop that has old movies, steal it, whatever it takes.
