Confidence is a 2003 American crime drama film starring Edward Burns, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Garcia and Rachel Weisz, directed by James Foley and written by Doug Jung.

When one of the four, Big Al, is found shot to death, the other three learn that the latest money they stole belonged to a local Los Angeles crime lord known as The King.

Jake enlists the aid of his remaining partners, Gordo and Miles, and also convinces an independent con artist named Lily to round out their foursome.

The plan hits a snag when Special Agent Gunther Butan shows up in Los Angeles looking to finally bust Jake, whom he has followed for years.

Lupus gets Jake to reconsider nixing the con, hinting that The King will torture and kill the grifters if the plan falls short.

Gordo takes it to Ontario Airport, where he is met by both Butan and The King's men, both sides after the $5 million in a duffel bag.

The screenplay gives away the game by having the entire story narrated in flashback by the hero, who treats it not as an adventure but as a series of devious deceptions which he can patiently explain to the man holding a gun on him--and to us.

It's great-looking, with its film noir reds and greens and blues, its neon Bud Ice signs, its shadows and mean streets, its sleazy strip clubs and its use of wipes and swish-pans (sideways, up, down, sometimes two at a time).
