Review of The Grifters (1990) by Jesse T — 30 Apr 2006
Umm. Wow. This is a shocker. I would have never thought that a movie with John Cusack and Anjelica Huston could be this well acted. I like them both, but wow. Anyways, Stephen Frears is a great director and he brought his own special touch to this movie.
Annette Bening had an awesome supporting role which earned her an Oscar nomination. Anjelica Huston also received one. This was a great con-artist movie and there is a slight twist ending. I recommend this to anyone who likes suspense-filled endings.
There is one shot, too, at the end of the film of Anjelica Huston in an elevator, which has to be one of my favourite and best photographed scenes ever. Well done.
