The Grifters

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. With Pat Hingle, Henry Jones, J.T. Walsh. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English DTS HD stereo Master Audio.
