Legendary F @RT90092035 Jul 8 Absolutely fantastic and well done movie not sure why not everyone enjoys it but in my opinion it’s a fantastic movie and seriously a good way to pass the time learning the history of these con artists and how dangerous they truly can be. Too many crooks out there and we must learn these swindlers tactics in order to not get swindled at all! See more 04/19/2020 Lacks energy, but nothing wrong with it. Dante The Magician was apparently a legend, so there's a bit of history there. See more Read all reviews
