The Grifters (Blu-ray) (1990)
The Grifters is Stephen Frears' darkly modern noir tale of a small-time grifter Roy Dillon (John Cusack) torn between his new girlfriend (Annette Benning) and his estranged mother (Angelica Huston): both con-artistes with their own angles to play.
When small-time cheat Roy Dillon winds up in hospital following an unsuccessful scam, it sets up a confrontation between his mother Lilly and sexy girlfriend Myra. Both Myra and Lilly are ruthless at playing the con game in a league far above Roy... and always looking for their next victim. The question soon becomes who's conning who as Roy finds himself caught in a complicated web of passion and mistrust.
