Graderings en resensies

Slow start, interesting middle but rushed ending with plausible conclusions by the viewer. This is not a "thriller" by any means. Watch Matchstick Men for a real con artist movie with twists and turns. Such great actors it's just to bad their first movie together wasn't made to showcase their talents.

I had the idea that this wasn't a straight forward con the old lady. What I loved was the idea of how she was going to get him. The childhood story of Lilli and Hans did surprise me. I thought she was catching Nazi from one of the concentration camps or one from the high command. I was eager to see this film and am very satisfied with the story and the actors. Very, very interesting movie.

It seems to tell a slow story in the beginning but the twist in the end is great. Suspenseful Thriller . maybe. But it was only 3 bucks. I liked it . keep a open mind. And u will get ur money's worth.
