German

Der von krankhaftem Ordnungswahn geplagte Trickbetrüger Roy hat zwar mit
dem Leben Probleme, am "Arbeitsplatz" aber blüht er auf. Gemeinsam mit
seinem Partner Frank zieht er ahnungslosen Kunden mit fingierten Gewinn-
spielen das Geld aus der Tasche. Allmählich jedoch beginnen sich Roys
Macken auszuweiten, er benötigt die Hilfe eines Psychiaters, der ihn mit
Pillen wieder "funktionsfähig" macht. Und dann taucht da plötzlich die
14-jährige Angela auf, die behauptet, Roys Tochter aus einer früheren
Beziehung zu sein.
Mit der virtuosen Adaption von Eric Garcias Roman "Ein brillanter Bluff"
legt Ausnahme-Regisseur Ridley Scott ("Gladiator") nun eine wendungsreiche
Story um zwei gerissene Trickbetrüger vor. Die fein nuancierte,
unspektakuläre, aber immer auf höchstem Niveau unterhaltende Gauner-
Komödie lebt vor allem vom betörenden Spiel ihrer drei Hauptdarsteller
Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell ("Geständnisse") und Neuentdeckung Alison
Lohman. Ein echter Geheimtipp, dieser humorvoll-melancholische Krimi-Spaß.
English

Meet Roy and Frank, a couple of professional small-time con artists. What
Roy, a veteran of the grift, and Frank, his ambitious prot g , are
swindling these days are "water filtration systems," bargain-basement
water filters bought by unsuspecting people who pay ten times their
value in order to win bogus prizes like cars, jewelry and overseas
vacations--which they never collect. These scams net the flim-flam men
a few hundred here, another thousand there, which eventually adds up to
a lucrative partnership. Roy's private life, however, is not so
successful. An obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe with no personal
relationships to call his own, Roy is barely hanging on to his wits, and
when his idiosyncrasies begin to threaten his criminal productivity he's
forced to seek the help of a psychoanalyst just to keep him in working
order. While Roy is looking for a quick fix, his therapy begets more
than he bargained for: the revelation that he has a teenage daughter--a
child whose existence he suspected but never dared confirm. What's more
troubling, 14-year-old Angela wants to meet the father she never knew.
At first, Angela's appearance disrupts her neurotic father's carefully
ordered routine. Soon, however, with his own unique spin on parenthood,
Roy begins to enjoy a relationship he never dreamed of having with his
daughter. But while he develops paternal feelings for the 14-year-old,
she's developing a fascination with Daddy's questionable career.
