Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 04/27/2007
The scenario isn't entirely plausible, but the actors are engaging and you can't beat the running time. Go to Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 08/19/2006
1.5/4
This idiotic crime comedy begins as a heated Sophia Petrillo flashback only to continue as a lobotomized Guy Ritchie caper. Go to Full Review Empire Magazine 04/01/2006
2/5
With so many high standing peers (both contemporary and classic), it just doesn't have the muscle or the nous to make an impression. Go to Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com 12/05/2007
3/5
Fakers is pleasant, passable entertainment, even if it's all too lightweight. Go to Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 09/06/2007
3/5
just doesn't have enough pep or twists to maintain interest in the long run. Go to Full Review Paul Malcolm L.A. Weekly 04/26/2007
Such artless inattention to the con man's craft might be overlooked if any of the characters or performers had the personality to pull one over on us, the audience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/16/2011 Excellent entertainment. An enjoyable 1 hour 18 mins. What more do you want from this film? See more don s 03/04/2011 This is one of those films that are a conundrum: on one hand there is nothing special about it (con game movie with a plot that is old as time and none too believable, so-so acting), and on the other hand there is just enough meat on the bones of the story to keep your interest, the sexual tension is well played, and the pacing is good enough so that you do not hate yourself for watching it. The accents are very understandable too (not always the case in movies from Great Britain). Don't go in expecting much, and you'll find a quaintly amusing con game that is short enough feel like it is over in the blink of an eye. See more 01/04/2011 A bit lightweight but entertaining nontheless. See more 06/02/2010 Really good. A bit stressful some times:-) See more 06/02/2010 This film is ACE!!! Not only did my cousin produce it (Luke G Jones) but the storyline is wonderful. I think of it as a small budget Ocean's Twelve: Having to pay off all the debts. And the car chase is magnificant!! In the SmartCar!! But bloody Da Vinci Code went and stole the idea!! I still think this is the 5th best film in the world after Ocean's 11 and 12 and Shrek 1 and 2! See more 06/02/2010 A great caper movie! Love Matthew Rhys' performance! See more Read all reviews
