Swindled or Taken In (Spanish: Incautos) is a 2004 Spanish-French thriller film directed by Miguel Bardem which stars Ernesto Alterio, Victoria Abril, and Federico Luppi.
After a time learning the ropes with aging Manco, swindler Ernesto ends up teaming up with alpha conman Federico.
Federico's former lover Pilar persuades the former to pull a large-scale scam.
[8] Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the "effective but inelegant grifters" film to be as "hyperactive, ostentatious and hollow as the characters it describes", and unable to hold after its first hour.
[2] Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "an entertaining device to narrate an already-seen story, but to which Bardem's narrative pulse gives a good rhythm", otherwise singling out a "splendid" Victoria Abril as the film's standout.
