    The characters are not full, which leads to the direction of the whole story. Benin always feels very bad for this performance, revealing a lot, but nothing to show. Cusack is here to sell his face, and there is no room for performance. Basically put the treasure on Angelica Houston, who is not the most dramatic, so awkward and...

Not an impeccable work, but an excellent transformation of Hollywood genre...

    7.0/10 points. 2018.06.12, I thought I hadn't read it, but after rewatching it, I found that it seemed to have been seen. . . The actors are very brilliant, but the plot is a bit inexplicable. . . Movies in the 1980s and 1990s were very open. . . More and more later. ....

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.
