My friend Katie recommended this movie to me.  It’s free on Apple+ and well-worth a look.  The definition of “Sharper” is “one who lives by their wits.”  A shaper is essentially a con-artist, and this film is about several of them.  The movie has many twists and turns, with one con on top of another.  There are multiple sections that go back-and-forth in time, each one about a different character.

Since this film is about multiple cons, if I say much about the plot, I will spoil it for you.  Suffice it to say, the cast is led by two of today’s finest actors, Julianne Moore & John Lithgow.  The plot is an interesting one, and the movie is considerably better than the average rental.

One night, when you have a couple of hours to watch a movie at home, try this one.  I think you will enjoy it, if you catch my “grift.”

I have loved the movies ever since I saw “The Wizard of Oz” as a young boy. When Beatle-mania hit the USA, Rock-N-Roll was my greatest passion, but I haven’t enjoyed the current music scene nearly as much over the past 15 years, so that void has been filled by film. In college and med school, I would see movies with my friends and we would stay up late into the night chatting about them. I still love seeing movies with friends and then having dinner to discuss them. This blog evolved out of my desire to tell my movie-loving friends about movies I thought they would enjoy. The blog allows me to do this in a fun way and to reach movie fans everywhere.
