If you’re looking for a great con-artist movie, they don’t come any sharper or more perverse than Stephen Frears’ The Grifters. John Cusack stars as Roy, a two-bit hustler who gets by doing small-time scams — at least, when he’s not being attacked by his marks. He’s soon pulled into the criminal big leagues by two very different women in his life: his mother Lilly (Anjelica Huston), who works for a mobster, and his sultry girlfriend Myra (Annette Bening, in her breakout role), who wants to recruit him for a long con with a big payoff. Who’s using who, and who will survive to cheat and steal another day? Even if you think you know the score, prepare to get played by this movie’s wild twists and turns!
