Tagline: Ever feel like you're being played?
Gregory Jacobs, who has served as an assistant director to some of the most respected motion picture directors in the entertainment industry, makes his directorial debut with "Criminal," a retelling of the Argentine film, "Nueve Reinas" ("Nine Queens").
Filled with off-beat characters, menacing situations, unexpected plot twists and an edgy, mordant humor, the film stars John C. Reilly ("Chicago"), Diego Luna ("Y Tu Mama Tambien"), Maggie Gyllenhaal ("Mona Lisa Smile") Peter Mullan ("My Name is Joe") and Jonathan Tucker ("The Deep End").
Set in Los Angeles over the course of 24 hours, "Criminal" follows a day in the life of two small-time bunco artists who stumble upon a foolproof, and extremely lucrative, scam. The story begins in a casino when Rodrigo (Diego Luna) is caught pulling a "change-for-a-hundred" swindle on two different cocktail waitresses. The escapade is witnessed by Richard Gaddis (John C. Reilly) an older, more experi-enced con artist who intervenes. Posing as a policeman he escorts Rodrigo away.
