Plot Summary

An extremely odd couple - a young Latino man who will do anything for his family and a 30-something scheming white guy who will do anything to his family - come across one of the most valuable pieces of currency in U.S. history. All they have to do is sell it, which is where the real problems begin. And of course, the only way out is family - the one person who can help them, hates them both: the schemer's sister!

Fresh: A breathless and dazzling caper that knocks your socks off. – Rex Reed, New York Observer, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Doesn't exactly reinvigorate an overworked genre, but neither does it disgrace the format or the original movie. – Lou Lumenick, New York Post, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Reilly and Luna make a chemically appealing screen team. – Desson Thomson, Washington Post, Jul 16, 2008

Brilliant and original

I loved this -- I've watched it twice and am tempted to watch it again :)
I believe it is based on a Spanish (?) film called 9 Queens or the like. In any case it is fresh with great characters and O'Reilly as gritty a grifter as one can find. I hadn't realised Clooney and Soderbergh were involved -- kudos to them as well.
