Tom Pelphrey played the lead well, but the character was despicable and you have to feel for all the people whose lives he affected.

This is also one of those movies where the title is a spoiler. We did not get to that bit until about three quarter of the way through it, so the viewer is waiting for the title to make any sense.

No worries that he didn't get his just desserts. The text at the end suggests he is still out there. I think it more likely that he didn't last long and is buried in the desert somewhere, the people he owed money to having dispatched him there.

The language is appaling.

This is why I barely watch movies anymore and only if I've nothing else. I can't believe this guy was on the FBI ten most wanted list next to Bulger andI forget who but I cracked up when I saw that! How this idiot has eluded capture for this long is beyond me?!? It could have been better if it actually told a story but this was all over the place and I had no idea when and why they were questioning people and they certainly didn't display this guy as some dangerous criminal?!? He supposedly ran scams of all sorts but they never get into that the only thing they show him do is stick a bunch of golf clubs down his pants and flee the store! How could no one catch this moron he fled on a bike after the robbery for christ sakes! And the acting sucks and the editing is awful. The only good acting was from the lovely Australian Jacki Weaver! I don't know if I ever thought Phillipe was but I've seen him in a couple things over the years and he's awful! Most of the A list actors I thought were good years ago S#ck! Maybe I thought that because it was years ago or maybe they always did. Non the less this could have been better if they told more of an actual story!

I don't understand the low reviews. This is an absolute accurate depiction of a sociopath/psychopath/scam artist. Tom Pelphrey's performance is eerily mesmerizing as he portrays Jason Derrick Brown. The camera loves Pelphrey, and his every nuance and inflection is perfect in this role. I don't know if he received any awards for his performance but it is entirely worthy. Perhaps people who have never been victims of (or even casually acquainted with) the consummate con artist may think Pelphrey's performance was over the top exaggerated. I was astounded as i watched because his the identical behavior of the con artist who victimized me and others. Well worth the time to view. Highly recommended.
