    I hadn?t realised the film CRIMINAL was a re-make, of course it didn?t take me long to realise that this was the original film. I usually prefer to watch the original first, but found both equally entertaining and enjoyed both portrayals of characters in each film.

    Always enj...( read more)oyed the ending to this one.

    A con movie that does a good job of keeping interest throughout. The plot was well thought out. From what I can tell the acting is good. It's always difficult to tell how good acting is in a foreign film. I thought the twist at the end was too predictable. Still a good movi...( read more)e with a lot going on.

    Watching this movie was spoiled by the fact that I watched the American version ("Criminal") first.

One flaw was that why would he tell the buyer who his sister is. At this point in the movie, it is true that he thought he would be selling the real stamps, but why would want someone to know how to trace him. And in fact, if he hadn't said that, what excuse would the buyer had that he would have some influence in convincing him to let his sister do the exchange... Anyway, still an enjoyable movie.

    I didn't expect a thing and then suddenly; wham! - the scammed people got their revenge in the end.

    the original version of 'criminal'. its simply original and great. hollywood's just wasting time and money to ever do a remake of it. watch this instead.
