Film Review of Fakers
Year: 2004 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Gangster Chic in which a conman who owes £50,000 finds a rare sketch from an old Italian artist and makes copies to raise enough cash to pay his debt. The treatment is entertaining, funny without destroying the tension, but lacks the depth or breadth to justify the price of admission in the face of worthier movies.
In retrospect, the film looks small budget although struggling along well enough. Competent without any artistic genius sort of thing.
Witty and charming, Fakers is a pleasant enough gangster movie that keeps most of the violence off-screen, but has too little substance to be memorable.
Rating: 6/10
