In 1940s New York, down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle endears himself to a clairvoyant and her mentalist husband at a traveling carnival. Using newly acquired knowledge, Carlisle crafts a golden ticket to success by swindling the elite and wealthy. Hoping for a big score, he soon hatches a scheme to con a dangerous tycoon with help from a mysterious psychiatrist who might be his most formidable opponent yet.
This is very much one of those movies where the cinematography makes the movies. The overall appearance of everything was like an extra character. Regarding the rest of the characters - there was some truly excellent acting in this movie across the board. Very stellar cast delivered throughout. And finally the direction of the movie really takes you there and sucks in the viewer to this world that. you feel like you are on the journey with them.
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It was a very enjoyable watch and could definitely garner some year end award consideration.
