James Foley directs the slick
crime caper Confidence, written by first-time screenwriter
Doug Jung. Told in flashback, smooth-talking con man
Jake Vig (
Edward Burns) relates an elaborate scheme orchestrated by his gang :
Gordo (
Paul Giamatti),
Miles (
Brian Van Holt), and
Big Al (
Louis Lombardi). The crew pulls off a swindling job stealing money from a guy named
Lionel (
Leland Orser), who turns out to be a mob accountant for the crazy crime boss known as the King (
Dustin Hoffman). After the damage has been done,
Jake and his crew attempt to pull off an even bigger scam to make up for their mistake. This time the con involves the King's enemy, the mob-connected banker
Morgan Price (
Robert Forster). Two corrupt cops (
Donal Logue and
Luis Guzman) join
Jake's team while the King appoints his henchman,
Lupus (
Frankie G.) to oversee the operation.
Rachel Weisz plays
Lily, Jake's love interest who is also in on the scam. Eventually,
Andy Garcia shows up as FBI Agent Gunther Butan, who has been perpetually chasing after Jake.
Confidence premiered at the
2003 Sundance Film Festival.
