'Sharper' is a second-rate genre venture that’s lacking the very cunning its protagonists purportedly possess, as well as a measure of sumptuous, sinister style that might make up for that deficiency. Read beastobsessed's review:
), but boasting none of those predecessors’ cleverness, surprise or precision—this despite the fact that director Benjamin Caron opens his story with close-ups of a watch being carefully assembled.
In downtown New York City, bookshop owner Tom finds customer Sandra fetching and asks her out. When she finally accepts—this after an initial rejection—a budding romance is born. For Tom, this is downright rejuvenating, given that his recent failure as a novelist led to a deep depression and Sandra appears to be his kindred spirit.
A down-on-her-luck junkie and petty crook, Sandra benefits from a stroke of good, i.e., absurdly convenient, luck when, while visiting her parole officer at a rundown bar, she’s saved from impending incarceration by Max, who demonstrates to her that he’s a master scammer.
Eventually, an enormous fortune winds up at stake, with Madeline, Max, Tom, and Sandra all vying to get their piece of the pie, but they’re all cardboard cut-out characters playing two-dimensional chess. Because there’s no depth to’s scenario or relationships, the entire affair comes across as a pantomime of superior ploys gone by.
