wild at heart [collector's edition] [blu-ray] review

I did love the dynamic between the proper Michael Caine contrasted with the wild and zany antics of Steve Martin. Quick Hit Review: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a movie I last saw probably a decade ago and while I did like it, I don’t quite consider it a 1980s classic as some, but it is still a whole lot of fun even when you know the outcome, which was more than satisfying. Confident of his own duplicitous talents, Jamieson challenges Benson to a winner-takes-all competition: whoever swindles their latest mark, Janet Colgate (GLENNE HEADLY), first can stay, while the other must leave town. When the new guy’s lowbrow tactics impinge on his own work, Jamieson resolves to get rid of him.

Plot Synopsis: Con artist Lawrence Jamieson (MICHAEL CAINE) is a longtime resident of a luxurious coastal resort, where he enjoys the fruits of his deceptions - that is, until a competitor, Freddy Benson (STEVE MARTIN), shows up. Shout Factory provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels might not rank high amongst my favorite 1980s comedies, but this is still a funny film even when you know the ending.
