Customer Reviews of Nine Queens
Who's conning who? An outstanding movie about a couple of Argentinean cons who are out to swindle everyone they encounter. The lead actors portray Juan and Marcos as a couple of loveable bad guys that will amaze you with the tricks they pull to get money. It seems everyone they encounter is going to get ripped off as they pull off some incredible and hilarious scams. They meet per chance while Juan is pulling a con and Marcos witnesses the game pulled on a gullible store clerk. Juan gets caught and Marcos acts like he is a cop/detective and hauls him away only to reveal himself as a fellow con. A friendship develops and soon they are showing each other their best tricks and plan a major scam involving a forged copy of a valuable stamp set, the nine queens. The film is brilliant, extremely well written and moves at a fast pace that keeps you guessing throughout the movie. Part of the beauty of this film is the bright script(it was a winner in a national script writting contest) that keeps you wondering what the heck is going on. To thoroughly enjoy the movie you may have to succumb to just watching rather than trying to figure it out because everything is not as it seems. There are a lot of twists and turns , cons scaming each other, new characters introduced to complicate things, eventually leading up to the finale where the quest for unloading the fake stamps reveals exactly who is conning who. If you like movies where you play mind games with the movie trying to figure it out than you will love this movie. It is a delightful , witty caper movie that is fresh and totally entertaining. Highly recommended cinema from Argentina that is equal or better than the best from Hollywood.
The Quintessential Con Game film
NUEVA REINAS comes to us from Argentina as a highly polished jewel of a film. Based on a script that is as nuanced as any written for suspense films today, this caper (or serires of capers) is riveting and holds your attention from the beginning to the end (or is it an end?). The seemingly basic plot line involves the interplay of two con artists who finally hit the big time in gaining access to a group of stamps from the Weimar Republic (the Nine Queens of the title). The fun of this movie is the quirky twists and turns that are not only part of the "play it as it lays" language of these men, they are also outside alternative hapenstances that propel the convoluted plot along. Movies that leave you with a feeling that you need to see it again in order to figure out where you lost track of the plot succession are a true joy: they make us an integral part of the grifter's scam. The cast is uniformly superb, the cinematography and direction and editing are all excellent. This is a spinning palladium ball of a movie. Hop on for the ride!
Smart Film That Keeps You Guessing
I admit that I'm a sucker for con movies. The idea of the clever heist intrigues me. What this film has, that many others don't, is the appropriate characterization to understand the deal in play. As it unfolds, you're exposed to so many possible angles and, more importantly, plausible angles that you can't let your guard down the entire length of the film. A very enjoyable movie!
