Con City

A skilled con artist is released from prison with a plan to pull off one last heist. However, his past quickly catches up with him as he navigates a dangerous underworld filled with betrayals and double-crosses. He must rely on his wits and a new alliance to survive and escape the city.

Con City received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences, with many finding its plot predictable and its execution lacking. While some praised the film's ambition and a few individual performances, the overall consensus pointed to a derivative crime thriller that failed to distinguish itself.

• The film suffers from a generic plot that has been seen in countless other crime thrillers.

• Performances are inconsistent, with a few actors showing promise but largely unable to elevate the material.

• The pacing is uneven, alternating between moments of slow burn and rushed action sequences.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available indicate a general disappointment with the film's unoriginality and underdeveloped characters, with some finding it a forgettable entry in the crime genre.

Director Chris Santos also served as one of the film's writers and producers, aiming for a gritty, independent crime drama feel.
