Description
In this seedy, emotionally charged film noir set in contemporary Los Angeles, Anjelica Huston is the horse-playing mother of a con artist (John Cusack) who doesn't like her son's romantic interest in a sexy swindler (Annette Bening). You never know who's duping whom in Martin Scorsese's acclaimed production, directed by Stephen Frears ("Dangerous Liaisons") and based on Jim Thompson's novel.
