Criminal
An extremely odd couple - a young Latino man who will do anything for his family and a 30-something scheming white guy who will do anything to his family - come across one of the most valuable pieces of currency in U.S. history. All they have to do is sell it, which is where the real problems begin. And of course, the only way out is family - the one person who can help them, hates them both: the schemer's sister! Starring Academy Award-nominee John C. Reilly ("Chicago" "The Perfect Storm"), Diego Luna ("Terminal", "Open Range"), Golden Globe-nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal ("Mona Lisa Smile", "Adaptation") and Jonathan Tucker ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Hostage"). Produced by George Clooney and Stephen Soderbergh ("Good Night, And Good Luck", "Syriana"). Written and directed by Gregory Jacobs.
Brilliant and original @mombetsu
I loved this -- I've watched it twice and am tempted to watch it again :) I believe it is based on a Spanish (?) film called 9 Queens or the like. In any case it is fresh with great characters and O'Reilly as gritty a grifter as one can find. I hadn't realised Clooney and Soderbergh were involved -- kudos to them as well.
Nine queens @Latin Film Fan
This film is a remake of the brilliant Argentine film, Nine Queens. I’d love to be able to purchase the original.
