Playing God (2021)
6/10
When God closes a door, He opens a safe

Warning: Spoilers
Micah (Luke Benward) and Rachel (Hannah Kasulka) are twins. They have been scam artists all their lives, mentored by Frank (Michael McKean). They find themselves owing $200K to Vaugh (Marc Menchaca) who will hurt them if they don't get it soon. They need a big mark. Ben (Alan Tudyk) is "unbanked" and has been looking for "God" to ask him about his daughter Katie who died. Our threesome of scammers decide to give him "God" while searching for Ben's treasure.

The film was not as fun as other scam films. "Brothers Bloom" was among my favorites. The ending was a downer on the comedy, almost as if they wrote themselves in a corner.

Guide: No sex or nudity. Don't recall swearing.
