    I feel that the logic of the film is a bit problematic. The plot is too smooth and the atmosphere is not well shaped. Annette Bening is a bit...

    The characters are much better than the story. Bening and Houston represent two different types of "bad women," one frivolous and reckless, the other overwhelmed by all kinds of burdens. Bening's several nudes are too hard, and the body is indeed beautiful, but the wrinkles on her face have hinted at a certain tendency of Cusack to choose...

    This is the darkest John Cusack film noir I've ever seen. Liars are ruthless and...

    A very novel black setting. Three swindlers take turns pretending to be pigs and tigers in every scene. Compared with the dark and spicy reversal at the end, the first half of the story has a frivolous temperament, which not only hides the audience from the audience, but also creates a split between the front and rear temperament...

    Although John Kusack is an actor I like very much, but this only brings the film to an average...

    All bad guys. I didn't really understand it. The actor's acting skills are impeccable, but what does the story want to say, the scammers did not end...

    The ending caused by this kind of small probability event is really a bit..., Houston is...

    The sandwich actor was born with regret and died a pity. A film that reveals a little bit of the evil of human nature, why so many comments are inferior to pigs and...

The Grifters quotes

  • Lilly Dillon: You're working some angle, and don't tell me you're not because I wrote the book!

    Roy Dillon: What about you? You still handling playback money for the mob?

    Lilly Dillon: THAT's me. That's who I am. You were never cut out for the rackets, Roy.

    Roy Dillon: How come?

    Lilly Dillon: You aren't tough enough.

    Roy Dillon: Not as tough as you, huh?

    Lilly Dillon: Get off the grift, Roy.

    Roy Dillon: Why?

    Lilly Dillon: You haven't got the stomach for it.

  • Lilly Dillon: I was hoping we could play it straight with one another.

    Roy Dillon: I guess not.

    Lilly Dillon: I guess you won't be getting a straight job, either.

    Roy Dillon: Not this week.

    Lilly Dillon: Not ever.

    Roy Dillon: It's up to me. I'm strictly short con. It's nothing but small time stuff. I can walk away from it anytime I want.

    Lilly Dillon: Where have I heard that before?

    Roy Dillon: Yeah, but I'm in control.

    Lilly Dillon: Sure. You're only 25 years old, already you can lay down four grand without even turning a hair. Grift's like anything else, Roy. You don't stand still. You either go up or down. Usually down, sooner or later.

    Roy Dillon: Well, I'll let it be a surprise, then.
