A Tale of 2 Scammers makes a very watchable TV movie. 7/10

A quite easy to watch tale of 2 thieves, with that love/hate type relationship between them. Chrisopher Walken stars and is very good as the silent rogue with a scam bigger than he's letting on.

Great because of Christopher Walken

This film was a great TV-film. Great acting by Christopher Walken (as usual) and Miguel Ferrer. Lorraine Bracco was OK. This film had many surprises. It was entertaining all the time. Great film for a night at home.Great acting,great story and as I said many surprises make this movie to a very good one. If Christopher Walken would not have taken this role I think Chazz Palmintieri or perhaps Mel Gibson should have been good as Jack Shanks.

Who's scamming who? Who cares? ..................

This is a classic case of a movie being way too difficult for the viewer to follow, leading to confusion and ultimately lost interest. Characters are introduced with absolutely no background, and the editing is so choppy that you will swear large chunks of the film are missing. I'm sure Christopher Walken, Lorraine Bracco, and Miguel Ferrer enjoyed their Jamaican vacation while shooting, but piling on twists just for the hell of it only enhances confusion rather than entertainment value. Proceed with caution because you are likely to become bewildered. This movie proves that the presence of Walken, does not always guarantee a good film. - MERK
