Scheme With Me

2012 · 98 min
8.0 / 10 · TMDB

A veteran con artist known as Stone Face leaves prison with one final score in mind: a military governor's gold shipment crossing the Gobi Desert. He assembles a motley crew for the job—a card sharp, an illusionist, and a petty thief—to execute an elaborate double-swindle. Their scheme, a intricate dance of deception, unfolds from the bustling, neon-lit underworld of Shanghai to the vast, silent expanse of the Mongolian plains. Here, every player wears multiple masks, loyalties shift like desert sands, and the greatest trick is knowing who is conning whom.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film is a stylish genre hybrid, blending retro caper charm with slick, modern pacing. Its clever plot is a Russian nesting doll of cons, inviting the audience to outguess the grifters at their own game.

What lingers after the final reveal is the sheer pleasure of the con—the elaborate setups, the witty banter, and the satisfaction of a plan coming together. It's a reminder that the most entertaining lies are the ones we see through from the start. — MovieFinder Editorial
