What Jake Vig
doesn't know just might get him killed. A sharp and polished grifter,
Jake has just swindled thousands of dollars from the unsuspecting Lionel
Dolby with the help of his crew -Gordo, Miles and Big Al - and two corrupt
LAPD officers - Lloyd Whitworth and Omar Manzano. But as Jake soon learns,
Lionel wasn't just any mark, he was an accountant for eccentric crime
boss Winston King.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Jake offers to repay "The King"
by pulling off the biggest con of his career. The mark? Morgan Gillette,
a banker with deep ties to organized crime. With so much riding on the
outcome, Jake decides to bring in a brash, blonde pickpocket named Lily,
who joins the crew in a complex scheme involving corporate loans, creative
accounting, wire transfers and off-shore accounts.
The first sign of trouble comes when Lily arrives for work with a head
of freshly dyed red hair, a bad omen if ever there was one. To make matters
worse, Jake also must contend with his old nemesis, FBI agent Gunther
Butan, The King's henchman Travis and a double-crossing partner. Against
these diminishing odds, Jake and his crew will have to stay one step ahead
of both the criminals and the cops to finally settle their debt.
CONFIDENCE is an incisive suspense drama from director James Foley (Fear,
Glengarry Glen Ross) and screenwriter Doug Jung. The film features a gifted
ensemble cast that includes two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman, Edward
Burns, Rachel Weisz, Andy Garcia, Paul Giamatti, Morris Chestnut, Brian
Van Holt, Luis Guzman and Donal Logue.
