Review of The Swindle

I expected a film with some class, and an interesting twist, as promised by the 5-line summary in the cinema brochure. What subtlety and twistiness of plot that there was did not, for some reason, seem to matter. The film seemed to be going through the motions.

The Swiss scenes in the latter half of the film are well shot, but for me, the most interesting moments all involved Isabelle Huppert doing something surprising with her hair.
