Why this pick
A nimble, urban caper built around shifting alliances and persuasive performances, with the same pleasure in watching professional grifters improvise under pressure.

Its glamorous locations, bickering criminal ensemble, and constantly changing plans offer a brisker but similarly playful blend of caper spectacle and character chemistry.
Why this pick
A tightly controlled con-artist drama with theatrical setups and psychological games, ideal if the layered performances and uncertainty beneath the charm were the main draw.
