Swindled

Swindled is a excellent con flick. Swindled has numerous twists and turns leading to an excellent climax. It has some very good actors, the main protaganist and his brother are the best. The movie keeps you engaged throughout the entire length of the film. When you see tricks, you really get amazed seeing them. When you find how they are done, you are left speechless.

Ernesto (Ernesto Alterio) is apprenticed to well-seasoned con artists Manco (Manuel Alexandre) and Federico (Federico Luppi), when the trio decide to execute their coup de grace in this plot-twisted thriller. In order to pull off this large job, they enlist the help of Pilar (Victoria Abril), a classic femme fatale with whom Federico shares a past--and who is his only weakness.

Swindled inspires many modern day con movies. The beauty about this movie is that you are left guessing throughout the film. Swindled is probably one of the best con movies ever.
