Seeing the nifty grifter drama Sharper reminded me how rarely we encounter this kind of clever cat-and-mouse game that might fall into the noirish genre but really relies on diving into a world filled with characters who reveal slices of their lives that keep changing moment to moment.
It is the kind of movie I find enormously difficult to review because its ultimate success for a viewer is just watching it unfold, beat by beat, never quite knowing exactly where it is heading but still glued to the screen to find out.
Almost any kind of real detail would require spoiler alerts, so just trust me. With an exceptional ensemble of actors who expertly avoid giving away the ever-changing actions of their slippery characters, a clever and precise script by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka and right-on-the-money direction from Benjamin Caron (The Crown) in a triumphant feature debut, Sharper reminds you how much we have missed from a mid-range adult entertainment when it gets it all right.
The best advice I have is to just go with it, even if the film you think is being set up from the first sequences is not the one they have made.
