What are critics saying?

Empire by

With so many high standing peers (both contemporary and classic), it just doesn't have the muscle or the nous to make an impression.

Variety by Derek Elley

Despite engaging performances from a cast led by Matthew Rhys and Kate Ashfield and pro direction by first-timer Richard Janes, yarn about art grifters lacks real snap, which ultimately stems from the so-so script and lack of real coin.

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust

The scenario isn't entirely plausible, but the actors are engaging and you can't beat the running time.

L.A. Weekly by Paul Malcolm

If you can't count on a British con movie to deliver at least a few moments of entertaining color, well, then what can you count on? Director Richard Janes' slight and wobbly Fakers comes close to shattering one's faith in a just and orderly universe.
