Criminal
Think of them as working men who work the angles. Rodrigo is the rookie. Richard is the mentor who knows crime like a book. But a new book is about to be written… The film is an English-language version of the Argentine hit “Nine Queens” (2000) by Fabián Bielinsky. John C. Reilly, Diego Luna and Maggie Gyllenhaal navigate the con-or-be-conned world of the L.A. grift in a clever caper directed by Gregory Jacobs and produced by Jacobs, George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh.
A $750,000 onenight score awaits Richard and Rodrigo if they can flimflam an antique currency collector (Peter Mullan) – a ruse soon packed with more twists than a box of pretzels. For suspense, surprise and a wow ending, watch this Criminal!

- " Like Richard Widmark, [John C. Reilly] is an excellent character actor who can convey both likeability and pathetical desperation simultaneously. " – Uri Lessing
- " Like a smash-and-grab job, the movie gets in, springs the con and gets out quick – leaving the viewer to replay the twists on his or her own time. " – Sean P. Means
