Sharper Review: Conniving Grifters Circle a Mammoth Prize

Sharper plays a long confidence game with cunning grifters who are never what they seem. The plot is broken down into vignettes that introduce the characters at various stages of deception. We get an early whiff of what's happening, but the true scope remains a mystery until the second act. The subtle art of seduction has predators circling like vultures for a mammoth prize. The well-acted plot takes you from seedy streets to opulent penthouse machinations. I was transfixed until the need to go bigger pops the narrative ballon. The film digs in claws but loses its grip with an overblown climax.
