Review of Nine Queens

Nine Queens (2000)
7/10
No shortage of plot twists...
18 April 2006
This is a pretty good movie about con artists possibly inspired by David Mamet films like The Spanish Prisoner. The plot twists never fall short. The cast is pretty decent.

I would rate this a 7 and not an 8-9 for two reasons. I felt that the script should have been peppered with more humor. I can understand that it could not be very stylish ala The Sting due to the low budget, but at least it could have provided a few more laughs. Also, the ending (last 2 minutes) was a little "Hollywood". I don't mean that there should have been a different ending - just that it could have been more subtle instead of trying to force the punch-line down the audiences throat.
