Yet, with Stephen serving as the scheming mastermind, Bloom has grown tired of playing other characters and having his life be just the roles that he embodies. Accordingly, he wants out, but Stephen convinces him to participate in one last scam, this one targeting Penelope Stamp (RACHEL WEISZ), a rich but lonely 33-year-old heiress.
With the assistance of The Curator (ROBBIE COLTRANE), they set their plan into motion, with Penelope unaware of their true intentions, but obviously enjoying the attention paid to her and what seemingly promises to be an adventure-filled journey with them. But as Bloom finds himself getting too close to their mark, his doubts and desire to quit resurface, potentially endangering the trio, especially with the arrival of armed thugs who may or may not be part of the elaborate ruse.
Violence consists of several shootings (real and faked), the hitting of and injuring of others, and some explosions and property damage. Some of that has bloody results, but much is faked, at least until the end. Some of these scenes might be unsettling and/or suspenseful to sensitive viewers. Pulling cons on others as well as other behavior seen in the film might be enticing for some kids to imitate.
Bad attitudes are present, as are some tense family scenes. Characters drink in various scenes, and there's some brief intoxication, while all sorts of smoking also occurs.
Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, there's some of that briefly during the title card presentation, followed in a later scene by flashes of light during a thunderstorm.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's some camera movement in the film.
