The Grifters ***1/2 (out of 5) (1990)

Cast: Angelica Huston, John Cusack, Annette Bening, Jan Munroe, Robert Weems

Directed by Stephen Frears

  An older woman works for a powerful bookie, a younger woman seduces her way through life, while a young man uses sleight of hand to nickel and dime a living for himself. Other than the fact that they are all on the grift, they are also a mother, son and girlfriend. Their lives cross, butit becomes more of a double-cross as they can't trust each other.

A well-acted and absorbing modern film noir, taken from the gritty Jim Thompson novel which was adapted into a screenplay by modern crime writer Donald Westlake. The characters are complex, situations authentic and while the point of the film seems enigmatic, it still remains fascinating. It probably could have been better, with an overall awkwardness in the directorial style and choice of music (Elmer Bernstein doing 40s noir in modern terms) tend to keep the going on in something less than gripping terms. Overrated by critics and overlooked by the mass audience, it's worthwhile enertainment fans of film noir and crime dramas.
