.” Not because it doesn’t elicit conversation — there is so much in the wickedly smart thriller to discuss, from the plot that keeps you guessing to the fantastic cast, to Caron himself, who never expected to be a film director. But the movie, opening in U.S. theaters this weekend before hitting Apple TV+ and U.K. theaters on Feb. 17, is best experienced when one goes in knowing as little as possible.
It was. I had read so many scripts and this was the first one that I just inhaled. It was mischievous and funny and smart and sexy and I liked that it was a thriller playing around with sexual politics and trust and betrayal. It had all these juicy turns and felt like a poker game. Where I grew up, there wasn’t a lot to do. But what I did fall in love with was magic. Primarily through a magician named Tommy Cooper, who I eventually made a film about. He was a comic and magician who was famous for doing tricks that went wrong — kind of an early Penn and Teller. I remember watching him on television and just being completely and utterly raptured by magic and how that made me feel. Of course I went to the magic shop and got tricks to practice in my room.

Con artists accumulate in the slinky 'Sharper'Almost invariably, we root for the con artist. 'Sharper,' a fitfully delicious pile of deceptions and double-crosses, is made with evident appreciation for the genre. It opens with a definition of its title -- 'one who lives by their wits' -- and the film skates by nimbly enough by coasting on its cast's smarts.
