Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Confidence earns its spot. Confidence gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. What Jake Vig doesn't know just might get him killed. A sharp and polished grifter, Jake has just swindled thousands of dollars from the unsuspecting Lionel Dolby with the help of his crew. It becomes clear that Lionel wasn't just any mark, he was an accountant for eccentric crime boss Winston King. Edward Burns and Rachel Weisz lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It hit screens in 2003. The timing in Confidence is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Confidence respects your intelligence. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Edward Burns is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
