Stephen Frears’ THE GRIFTERS
(R, 1990, 113 min)
Coolly collected and confidently performed, “The Grifters” is a stylish caper that puts the artistry in con. In this seedy, emotionally charged film noir set in contemporary Los Angeles, Anjelica Huston is the horse-playing mother of a con artist (John Cusack) who doesn't like her son's romantic interest in a sexy swindler (Annette Bening). You never know who's duping whom in Martin Scorsese's acclaimed production, directed by Stephen Frears ("Dangerous Liaisons") and based on Jim Thompson's novel. With Pat Hingle, Henry Jones, J.T. Walsh.
