Review of Confidence

Confidence (2003)
Perfect mix of Intelligence and Entertainment
4 December 2004
Smart script. Cool cast. Awesome vsiual style. Edward Burns is a smooth, good- looking and honest actor. Rachel Weisz has the best chops of all the young

female actors in film. She was a perfect mix for Birns. Paul Giamatti is surely going to go down in the history of film as the perfect comic/character actor. He's Tracy Walters' evil twin. I just saw him in Safe Men with Sam Rockwell. He stole the show. Morris Chestnut has finally stepped out of his sugary, sweet romantic comedy mode and done something that's on the level of Denzel Washington's

turn in Devil in a Blue Dress. Morris could easily step into Don Cheadle's shoes with roles like this. Dustin Hoffman was excellent. This role gave him a perfect setting for his intense energy. Luis Guzman was his perfect, weird but talented self. He and Giamatti are in the same league. Good movie on every level. John Carrol Lynch (whom I studied under at the U. of Minnesota) proved once again

how a good actor can disappear into a part. He's in a lot of movies but no one I know can tell me his name. Good Movie on all level.
