Who's scamming who? Who cares? ..................

This is a classic case of a movie being way too difficult for the viewer to follow, leading to confusion and ultimately lost interest. Characters are introduced with absolutely no background, and the editing is so choppy that you will swear large chunks of the film are missing. I'm sure Christopher Walken, Lorraine Bracco, and Miguel Ferrer enjoyed their Jamaican vacation while shooting, but piling on twists just for the hell of it only enhances confusion rather than entertainment value. Proceed with caution because you are likely to become bewildered. This movie proves that the presence of Walken, does not always guarantee a good film. - MERK

Surprisingly good

Finding this piece sandwiched between a stale prequel and a rehashed 80s machomovie on a UPN affiliate's midday Saturday program would be misleading. It deserves better and definitely uses its talented leads' best attributes to its maximum advantage. Bracco and Walken team to provide a movie that while perhaps predictable to those familiar with their genre, do the streetwise, 'troubled minds' routine that they are so good at portraying. For a chance to ride a psychological roller coaster a la Fuqua's "Training Day," dive back into the world of early '90s TV movies to find "Scam"!

A Tale of 2 Scammers makes a very watchable TV movie. 7/10

A quite easy to watch tale of 2 thieves, with that love/hate type relationship between them. Chrisopher Walken stars and is very good as the silent rogue with a scam bigger than he's letting on.

Sizzle and Scheme

This old gem is still as good as I remember. Set in Miami and mostly Jamaica, it reminds me a lot of Miami Vice. I kept wanting this movie to go from the crime drama genre to romance genre. The two main actors (Lorraine Bracco and Christopher Walken) sizzle together when they aren't scamming or fighting for their lives. Watching these two is just as exciting as watching all the schemes hatch. I could not tell if they had ever done the deed in the movie or not, or if they stopped short of it. Having read the personal struggles that Lorraine Bracco was going through during filming I think she did a great job. She seemed like a natural.

Wonderful little movie... that nobody has heard of

I LOVED this movie. You can't buy it, rent it, or find it... but it's a keeper.

Wonderful chemistry between Braccho and Walken... and Ferrar....

Terrific non stop action and reactions.... loved it.

I've watched my pirated copy maybe 6 times in the last decade... each time showing it to someone who never heard of it.

Find this movie and watch it.

So many films are on TV over and over again - without any of the wit and style of this little film.

I didn't know it was made for TV... my copy is an 8 track I pirated years ago... I hope it lasts.

Anecdotes
Director John Flynn, in an interview, said of the production: ''...it was just another assignment. Showtime's executives liked 'Nails' so much they immediately offered me 'Scam'. We shot most of it in Jamaica. It was a privilege to work with Chris Walken. What a fine actor he is. Miguel Ferrer and Martin Donovan are also first-rate talents, but Lorraine Bracco was clinically depressed at the time, having trouble with her boyfriend Edward James Olmos and her ex-husband Harvey Keitel. So Lorraine wasn't at the top of her game in 'Scam'.''
