Bathed in self-conscious cool, Confidence is a heist caper in which the heist is unimportant. As you might expect from Glengarry Glen Ross director James Foley, this pulpy concoction is more interested in giving good actors a lot of hip, salty dialogue as they scheme their way to the royal scam. It's a poor man's Ocean's Eleven, just as enjoyable in its own way, beginning when con artist Jake (Edward Burns) discovers he's accidentally stolen from an eccentric crime boss (Dustin Hoffman, oozing threat in a fine character turn). Promising to make amends by pulling the biggest con of his career, Jake adds a feisty pickpocket (Rachel Weisz) to his crew, which includes scene-stealer Paul Giammatti and Andy Garcia as a disheveled FBI agent (or is he?). With a cast like this you can't go wrong, but Confidence cons itself into thinking it's original, while Burns's abundant voice-overs state the obvious and plot twists unfold with minimal surprise. It hardly matters; Confidence may be derivative, but it's still recommendable. --Jeff Shannon

 Confidence-Great movie from a great cast October 22, 2009
BluewaveTX (Lubbock, TX)
This is one of my favorite movies. Story moves ahead briskly with a cast that just delivers from start to finish. Sound track is terrific but the ending song from Coldplay (Clocks) is not on the sound track of the movie CD!!! Had to but it as a single from iTunes (this is my only complaint)! Must see movie..............st
 Low-rent caper film October 3, 2009
One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
Between the lackluster plotting, anemic acting (with the exception of Dustin Hoffman, who's a little annoying but certainly not boring) and the sad feeling of the film merely going through the motions, Confidence gives potential viewers almost no reason to watch the film when there are many far better movies about con men (e.g. The Sting, The Spanish Prisoner, House of Games, even Matchstick Men) out there.
2/4
 Great grifter flick July 18, 2009
W. Ritchie Dmd (Charlotte,NC)
On par with 'The Grifters'. Well done. Plus Dustin plays a very mean bad guy.
 con games and LA crime April 13, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
This movie is one of those fast action fast talking films
like a Paul Newman con/ hustle film. You never know who is going to get his until the very end. Dustin Huffman isn't as believable as the bad crime boss
as you might think he should be, but Rachel Weisz and Edward Burns deliver the plot.
The end leaves you wondering if the people involved won't begin to come back at them in the future?
The movie is a Teacher April 7, 2009
Santiago M. Bustelo (Argentina)
This movie will teach you to be confident, team work, and of course, how to CON and Lie
