Criminal
Ever get the feeling you're being played?
Directed by Gregory Jacobs
Produced by Warner Independent Pictures, 2929 Productions
A clever con-artist thriller that balances scheming intrigue with romantic entanglement and comedic misdirection, built on mutual distrust and layered deception.
Needing a new partner capable of intricate cons, Richard Gaddis, recruits Rodrigo, a crook with a perfect poker face. The two plan a big-time scam: selling a fake Silver Certificate to currency collector William Hannigan. Rodrigo distrusts his new associate, but needs money to help out his ill father. The situation becomes more complicated when Rodrigo falls for Gaddis' sister, Valerie, drawing another player into the game.
