An aging former con man, desperate to secure the best care for his wife diagnosed with dementia, pulls his daughter—a struggling artist—into one last swindle that spins out of his control. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels meets Matchstick Men
“An engaging premise with strong central and supporting characters, a well-built world and a fine balance of tenderness and comedy…” WeScreenplay Reviewer
“We have seen comedies about old con artists before, but this is an original story ultimately inspired.” WeScreenpay Reviewer
“THE LAST CON is a charming and playful take on serious themes, with exciting yet relatable characters and a satisfyingly bitter-sweet resolution…Given its limited characters and locations, this is a low-budget project with the potential to launch talented actors’ later-in-life careers and that could co-star a name as Ellie, their 34 -year-old struggling-artist daughter.” – Blacklist Reviewer
