Nine Queens

An incredibly fun crime movie, that only gets better as it goes along. Definitely benefits from the lower, more realistic stakes (as opposed to, say, Ocean 11's casino robbery), and the characters are all great.

A nicely structured con film with so many twists that you'll stop trying to predict them. It's very interesting how a whole lot of plot points which were commentary for Argentina's situation at the time now find themselves with much broader resonance.

A more personal take on the con genre, which is typically clogged with Oceans-11-type style-fests. It's unpredictable. The cinematography is smart and emotive. The unfolding of the titular storyline is gripping. The only minus is the too-cool-for-school shocker ending. Its tone is at odds with rest of the entire film, it feels like a cheap victory over characters that weren't totally unlikeable to begin with, and it betrays the things that endeared us to the other guy throughout the film.

Your mind is working at all times in this movie, and I really liked that. The ending was a good one, but it wasn't quite delivered properly and I cannot put my finger on why not. Excellent movie, though.

The whole time you know there is a con going on, and you find out exactly what con it is at the very end. It was sometimes interesting and the actual story is twisted. Basically, a small-time con artist and swindler who is hated by everyone gets his comeuppance. Worth watching and it has a good ending that almost makes you want to watch it again. I half expected the stamps were just ordinary stamps anyone could buy in another country.

Thanks, Karol... Really interesting...

Nice Spanish movie. For me it looks familiar with the movie "The Sting". Some criminal tricks were incredible good.

Muy Buena

Con-movie about greed(aren't they all), with a superbly written plot.

For more then half of the movie, I tried to figure out who is conning who, gave it up and enjoyed the movie after having considered all the possibilities. The ending did not come as a surprise but this does not reduce the pleasure I got out of the movie.

One of the better con movies. Quite clever and with lots of plot twists shifting around the viewer's loyalty.

Veryyy good argentinian cinema

Cons conning cons who are getting conned,etc. etc.. Predictable plot twist.

A decent thriller - many twists and some interesting camera work.

Laid-back and clever. Has some interesting comments on humanity, too.

"doktor ölüymüş"'ten beri gördüğüm en baba twist'e sahip film. hatta sonunu izledikten sonra anlıyorsunuz ki film, o son 5 dakikaya alenen sizinle dalga geçerek gelmiş. film bittikten sonra geriye dönüp düşünüldüğünde mantıksız yerleri oldukça fazla. bence banka sahnesinde bitirilseymiş daha nitelikli bir film olurmuş. ama bu protez sonuna rağmen yine de eğlenceli, sürükleyici, senaryosu da yer yer iyi bir film.

Nine Queens does for swindlers what Se7en did for serial killers. It glorifies them.

Unreliable narrative done right.

If you enjoyed 'The Sting' or 'The Usual Suspects' then this is worth watching.

Evidently good, but it's not masterpiece. Cast delivers and the plot seems playful and fun, entirely constructed with acts within acts. Con artists as real-life performers and so. But I jus't don't buy the surprise finale -- sorry, I'm a Shyamalanic and only praise twists written and directed by the goat.

dolandiricilik, (para üstü numarasi, yasli teyze, restoranda para üstü ve olay cikarma, yardim etme numarasi), pul koleksiyoncusu, hirsiz (motorsikletli kapkaççi), ikili, miras konusda anlasmazlik, otel (markette para üstü dolandiriciligi yapan Kuan, görevlilerce fark edilir ve baska bir dolandirici tarafindan kurtarilir. İkili bir günlügüne birlikte calismaya baslar. Bu arada Marcos'a büyük bir pul isi teklifi gelir. Zengin koleksiyoncuya kopya bir pul satacaklardir. Final sasirtmacali)

Great movie, but I missed the cultural references and the Argentinian accent is hard to follow.

Enjoyable story about two cons, intricately plotted like The Usual Suspects, that tends to be more focused on the characters than the job. The misdirection here is quite good; I was sure I had picked out the one clue that would give it all away but I was very wrong.

great heist argentinian movie!! very very clever, with great dialogues and surprises. see it

I guess after reading so many Agatha Christie's you don't get fooled so easily.

Deliciously twist-filled, Nine Queens is a clever and satisfying crime caper.

Aimiable con-man buddy movie with some good plotting but marred for me by acting that veers a little towards a latin soap opera.

One of the better con movies. Quite clever and with lots of plot twists shifting around the viewer's loyalty.

Classic con movie. Very clever made.

A fun script, well-paced, with two engaging leads that play well off one another, Nine Queens serves as one of the more enjoyable entries into the suspense-thriller canon of movies that make ample use of misdirection, keeping the surprises coming to the very end. The best thing about the film is its seeming joy in displaying such a wide variety of tricks--all through subtle word play and cleverly arranged circumstances.

goed... ma in de helft werd het wel al duidelijk wa er ging volge... maar goed :-)

If this is the first movie con-artists, then this would provide solid entertainment. I'd seen a ton of them before this, so I wasn't as excited about this.

Bad idea airing this during a series of Hustle. Entertaining none the less, especially as a question of conscience.

This movie wasn't bad, but if you've already seen Bluffmaster! (2005, India) be prepared for some deja vu: they (Bluffmaster!) ripped off most of this movie.
