TxMike Review of The Con

The Con (1998 TV Movie)

Rebecca DeMornay and William Macy make this a cute, entertaining "con" movie.

[28 September 2001]

SPOILERS - William H Macy writes quirky little movies and this is one of them. He also stars, however instead of his usual character he is a meek, trusting Southerner. I've always liked DeMornay, from her role in "Risky Buisness" to "Hand That Rocks the Cradle." She has a mysterious, feline, sexy look, even when she is dressed as a common southerner. She is the con woman who sets out to get Macy to fall for her. In the process she actually finds she likes him, has to fake her death and cremation to escape the "mob", and the film ends with the two of them driving off in his truck, presumably to start a new life together. Good entertainment, especially for fans, like me, of DeMornay and Macy.
