I feel violated - the fraud of Barry Minkow continues in 2018

I read the description and viewed the trailer for Con Man, expecting a faith-based film with the assumption of the ol' bad guy turned good thanks to God-Thank You Jesus. The cast is made up of a lot of heavy hitters but some of them are known to do side projects that aren't about money so I was really looking forward to the message this film would bring.

The film is rather wishy-washy for the first hour, like one of those after-school specials from the 80s, but once that hour mark hits the message is definitely a serious one. The next 40 minutes delivers what I expected:the introduction to finding God, going to prison and finding a mentor, release from prison and living the righteous life, working with the FBI to bring down a bad guy and defrauding his church of millions while being convicted again of securities fraud and insider trading........wait, what?

The film Con Man lives up to it's name-it cons viewers into anticipating a feel good movie about a bad turned good guy, when it actually tells the tale of a bad guy turned bad guy who stays a bad guy as of the date of this review. Because there is such a thing as Internet, I did my research on the shyster known as Barry Minkow. First off, Barry pulled the 'I found God' con-oh, that one pisses me off the most. Next he setup a for-profit firm that investigated things like security fraud, and then conned the FBI into believing he was some kind of 'fraud expert'. Barry became really good at conning the Media, which didn't appear to be very hard as he reeled in 60 Minutes, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal-but that wasn't enough as he conned more people out of more money to create a short film about himself called Redemption(look it up on IMDB) and this travesty of a film, all while sullying the careers of dozens of outstanding actors and actresses. How bad is Barry?-this ending of this film Con Man had to be changed after he was convicted a second time.

In Summary, if you wish to get angry-watch this film then look up Barry Minkow online. If you work in the industry, stay away from any project that's even remotely connected to Barry Minkow-Inmate #87560-012 once he is released again 06/06/2019.

Oh dear

The lead actor was 34 at the time of filming this dreadful film when his character is supposed to be16. Tells you all you need to know.

great potensial,bad pay out

Mr minkows story must be like standing on the gates of heaven for a screenwriter and director, but when they make a mockup on a mockup, then they have made a movie ponzi scheme , because this film and this acting were and felt really bad. it has so many inconsistencies, it is like a bouncing ball bouncing pretty random from here to there to everywhere .

there are absolutely no timeline presented, that are usually ''all inclusive'' in most biographic movies. you can without doubt see the age differences, but why not tell the audience when and where things happened. all i can say is that the plot, story and acting are fraudulently and coningly well done, the main cast have no grits nor guts at all.

there must have been a question about bad finances when producing this film, im sorry to say that most of the ''stars''-actors have shrunk into dwarfstars, and not a white one, they are brown, cold and weak because all their explosive energy has been used. i might insult, but mark hamill reminded me of yoda in star wars in one of his hugging scenes,do you see the resemblence??? if i had the money and were the producer i wouldve set all in on tom cruise,still ''young'' and good looking, and still full of energy.

as a filmproduct most of my stars goes to the great camera work, and some of the less familiar actors, like minkows wife,mistress and school friend. i can also say that i will not attend a second screening on this one.
