Nine Queens - Nueve reinas

By: Material type: FilmSubtitle language: English, French Publication details: 2001Description: DVDGenre/Form: Online resources: Summary: Two small-time swindlers, Juan and Marcos, who team up after meeting in a convenience store and become involved in a half million -dollar deal. Early one morning, Marcos observes Juan successfully pulling off a bill-changing scam on a cashier, and then getting caught as he attempts to pull the same trick on the next shift. Marcos steps in, claiming to be a policeman, and drags Juan out of the store. Once they are back on the street, Marcos reveals himself to be a fellow swindler with a much higher stakes game in mind, and invites Juan to be his partner in crime. Juan is skeptical at first, but agrees to work with Marcos after he impresses him with a few sophisticated cons. A once-in-a-lifetime scheme then seemingly falls in their laps — an old time con-man enlists Juan and Marcos to sell a forged set of extremely valuable rare stamps, The Nine Queens. The tricky negotiations that ensue with a cast of suspicious characters and we begin to ask ourselves, "Who isn't a thief?"
