CGiii Comment
Sadly, it's not as good as we were expecting...
The trans character is bizarre and Nolte seems to be playing himself in a overly convoluted tale.
Entertaining in a flimsy and forgettable sort of way.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Set against the glitzy backdrop of the French Riviera, aging gambler Bob Montagnet is about to gamble it all on the casino heist of a lifetime; a spectatcular sleight of hand--two heists, one real, one not, but which is which? Under the watchful eye of Roger, a policeman who would as soon save his longtime opponent as arrest him, Montagnet assembles a team that consists of partners Paulo and Raoul, technical mastermind Vladimer, former-drug-dealer-turned-informant Said, Anne, a young Eastern girl Montagnet rescued from prostitution, and the perfect complement to a double theft--identical twins Albert and Bertram.
