“The Con is On” is billed as a comedy heist film from director James Oakley (“The Devil You Know” 2005) and screenwriters Alex Michaelides and James Oakley. However, the writing is so poor and the plot and storyline so convoluted that “comedy” and “heist” are difficult to find in all of the confusion and chaos of the picture. It is amazing that the producers could find any quality actors to appear in this nonsense. Some folks may be simply looking for work and exposure.
They include Uma Thurman, Sofia Vergara, Maggie Q, Parker Posey, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry, Alice Eve, Tim Roth, Michael Sirow, and Wilmer Calderon. The huge $13 million budget ensured that Evolution Entertainment and Lionsgate Entertainment lost money big time as “The Con is On” was released in limited theatrical release and on video on demand.
