Watched “Confidence” on DVD. I think that “CONfidence” makes for a better title, since “Confidence” doesn’t say anything at all, while “CONfidence” might suggest that it is a con movie, which is what it exactly is.

There are way too many con movies out there. This is one is among the very good ones. It is just below such jewels as “Ocean’s Eleven” and “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels”. It has a good story, nice pace, cool guys, hot chicks, competition, and what not. Many celebrities are in this one too: Rachel Weisz, Leland Orser, Paul Giamatti, Luis Guzm�n, Dustin Hoffman.

I’ll rate it as a 8 out of 10. It is actually one of those 8s which are very close 9. But not exactly there. Maybe soundtrack could have been better. But a good rent anyways.
