The Prime Gig
“Too much is never enough.”
Pendelton "Penny" Wise is a smooth-talking con-artist who makes a living by scamming people with phoney travel comp vacations over the phone when, desperate for more fast cash, he's called to work for a shady, veteran con businessman, named Kelly Grant, in selling property for a gold mine over the phone, which takes a turn when Penny begins a relationship with Grant's mistress Caitlin, where Penny throws common sense and caution to the wind to woo her, while we wonder who is scamming who here. Written by Matthew Patay
This film feels like a slick, morally ambiguous dive into the world of con artists. It's a cool, character-driven thriller with a romantic undercurrent, where everyone's playing an angle and trust is a dangerous commodity. Expect sharp dialogue and a stylish, cynical mood.
