It's a good, entertaining movie. Nothing more. Solid acting, stylish visuals, nice story. I'd lump it in the same category as Ocean's Eleven; an entertaining con caper about smooth-talking conmen doing what they do best. It is 2 hours of pure, unadulterated diversionary entertainment. I did kind of feel bad for Cage's character. I find myself very attracted to Alison Lohman, the actress who played his daughter; I have a thing for baby-faced starlets. The impact of her character lent a touch of human sadness to an otherwise mindless movie.
