THE GRIFTERS is an intense character study of people caught in a world with no one to trust.This cool and brutal adaptation by director Stephen Frears of Jim Thompson`s stylish noir novel centers on the complex lives of three con artists. The action centers around the shady Roy Dillon (John Cusack), a low-level L.A. con man and petty thief, and Roy`s sexy, amoral girlfriend Myra (Annette Bening), a con artist who is down on her luck and willing to do whatever it takes to get back on top of her game. Rounding out the trio is Roy`s mother, Lilly (Angelica Huston), a veteran con artist who shares little with Roy other than a bizzare Oedipal attraction. The seedy underbelly of L.A. life is played out in evocative tableaux, as Myra and Lilly compete for Roy`s attention until they ultimately drive him away.
