Beyond the Edge

A con-artist and high end gambler is just wrapping up a job that he has been setting up for 3 months. He is about to walk out of a game with 5 million euro. And his cards change before his eyes? And now he is discovered, his "earnings" walk out the door with another man, and he has 1 week to pay back the bill. To do so, he joins forces with some supernatural talent, who also happen to be individuals needing social guidance. The team is set. We get to follow this team through training, the development of the next con, implementation and failure and ... no spoilers here. Really this is a pretty fun con film with a plot device (the supernatural thing) that doesn't really get in the way or become the focus of the entertainment. It is a tool that is used to achieve an end. 

3 stars (out of 5)
