Even though she's still a knockout, Max understands that her days as the ingenue are slowly coming to an end. Their current con finds Max marrying wealthy guys, and then sending Page in to lead them into temptation. Page informs Max that Dean was their last con as a team, and wants to break out on her own. Her dream is put on hold when Max and Page learn that their life's savings have been seized by the IRS, leaving them just 90 days to come up with the remainder of the penalties. That means a quick con.
Nothing is what it seems, and there's always something going on.
Like the poor dupes in the film, we never know if we're being conned. We just go along for the ride, and what a wild ride it is. There are many unexpected moments and numerous plot twists that keep on your toes. The script is smart, with sharp dialogue, vivid characters and a playful but occasionally dark sense of humor. The only way to make the ladies likeable is to make the men in their lives worthy of their con, and the writers have done an excellent job of making the male characters more than just one- dimensional victims.
