The Grifters had the source elements to be a crime classic, but ends up little more than an enjoyable but flawed little neo-noir gem, with director Stephen Frears struggling to find focus.
Based on the source novel by celebrated pulp author Jim Thompson (The Getaway) adapted for the screen by pulp author Donald E. Westlake (Point Blank, Payback, Parker) who would win an Oscar for his trouble, and featuring a trio of strong performances from Anjelica Huston as well as then-upcoming John Cusack and Annette Bening, the film"s weak link can ostensibly be found in Dangerous Liaisons helmer Stephen Frears. He turned in a snappy, stylishly-edited feature that"s almost proto-Tarantino in nature, no doubt assisted by input from none other than Scorsese. The trouble was that the source material was never going to make for a conventional heist caper - which is what The Grifters feels like - as Thompson never plays things that simply in his books.
Nihilistic to the core, seldom have Thompson"s books been adapted straight (The Getaway stripped the journey-into-purgatory ending which would eventually be shaped into the premise for From Dusk till Dawn), and, when they were, it ended up being a pretty sour ride (The Killer Inside Me). Westlake"s straight adaptation and Frears" unfocused direction could be seen as misdirection - turning a caper feature into a darker playground for Oedipal urges, murderous intent and mob retribution - but it feels less intentional than that, with the snazzy three-way split-screen opening sequence a far cry from the closing moments - as if it started all Ocean"s Eleven and ended all Angel Heart. As neo-noir gems go, this one has more flaws than you"d like, but is still worth checking out.
