Product Description

Product Description

Charming hustler Nick Blake (Matthew Rhys) owes a $500,000 to local crime lord Foster Wright with no way to pay off the debt… While fleeing town Nick stumbles across a mythical lost sketch by a renowned artist worth $100,000. Except for two small problems; 1) Nick doesn’t own it and 2) He would need 5 copies of it. A plan is hatched to steal it, forge the drawing, than sell it to five art galleries and all within one hour before anyone figures out the scam!

Review

From the animated credits - a homage to The Pink Panther's opening sequence - through to a cheeky Smart car chase that honors The Italian Job, Jane's aesthetic is cheerfully retro - an impression reinforced by Malik's imperious villain and an absence of explicit violence…Fakers is swiftly paced, energetically executed... --John Fortung, Channel 4

The performances are sharp and giddy enough to repeatedly win us over; it's obvious the cast is having a ball with the material, and their mood is infectious. Director Richard Janes keeps everything moving at a healthy clip, lending a jazzy, freewheeling style to the tale. --David Cornelius, DVD Talk.com

The filmmakers manage to give this film the look and acting talent that would be the envy of more expensive productions. Solid camerawork and witty dialogue complement an excellent cast, which includes Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) and Art Malik (True Lies). Malik makes the most of his screen time by playing mobster Foster Wright with the right balance of aristocrat and sociopath, while Matthew Rhys gives the audience an underdog to root for in small-time crook Nick Edwards. Chemistry among the ensemble cast is excellent. Director Richard Janes injects just enough originality to separate Fakers from the surplus of British caper films, and he succumbs only to a single Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) quick-cut montage. Technically, little separates this modest British film from a Hollywood product. Continuity is seamless, as is the acting. Picture and sound are done justice via a clean transfer to DVD. Kevin Sargent s inspired score is one of Fakers best qualities. This spry fusion of jazz and progressive sounds adds boundless energy to the forward momentum of this simple story. --Home Theater and Sound

    I just wanted a more balanced overall rating. If you are a Matthew Rhys fan, as I am, you'll fall in love with the film. Although it brings new meaning to the term 'low budget', it was certainly entertaining, and Rhys does not disappoint in this role that allows him to be witty, smart, fun and sexy.

    It's a cute movie and Matthew Rhys does an excellent job in the main role. Art Malik makes a good evil character, which is surprising considering his wonderful role in, "Jewel in the Crown." Now, that's acting!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not A Diamond ...But Not The Rough, Either
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2008
    I have a certain affection for indie films. Occasionally you'll find a diamond amongst the rough, and I was hoping to find something similar in FAKERS. Although I didn't find a gem, there were some shining moments that made it worthwhile.

    Matthew Rhys plays down-on-his-luck Nick Edwards, a man with a cash-flow problem. He needs $50,000 to pay off a debt he owes to a rather dubious London gangster boss played by Art Malik (the terrorist from True Lies). Nick's time on Earth appears to be drawing to a close, as he sees no way to make that amount of money in the necessary time-frame (one week). But then he stumbles across a sketch by a famous early 20th century artist and his mind begins to work through his problems. Not worth enough to cover his debt, he devises a scheme to make multiple copies of the sketch and sell it to several local galleries on the same day.

    Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead) plays love interest Eve Evans, a hardworking bartender who's love of money may overshadow her affections for Nick. She decides to help Nick with his problem ...but only if she can benefit, too.

    Tom Chambers plays Eve's brother, Tony, the sketch artist who will make the forgeries. An introspective and talented artist in his own right, he eventually learns how gifted he truly is as the film comes to its climax.

    The acting was great. This was the shining portion of what could have been a rare gem. All of the characters were quirky, misguided, and fun to watch. The dialogue was equally entertaining as we watch Nick verbally joust with the London boss ("I spend most of my time in the company of intelligent people so when you come round it's a real change.")

    The script was a hodge-podge of too many storylines trying to connect too man characters. The multiple introduction of several gallery owners as prime players toward the end of the film lent a serious lopsidedness to the finale. The ending itself seemed to indicate more to come but was cut short without resolution, which made it very frustrating.

    As a whole the film was an okay picture, but it needed some polishing to make it truly shine.

    "Fakers" is an example of how a good, funny script together with very talented actors/actresses can creat a highly enjoyable film. There is never a dull moment and the hatched plan is actually quite brilliant. However, I do doubt that gallery owners would be so unprofessional. Matthew Rhys is brilliant as Nick Edwards and Matthew is the reason why I bought this DVD and he did most certainly not disappoint me.

    Good actors performances. A good story without deepness. I think this kind of script with a different point of view could become a suspence movie like the '70 ones. This not depends on money production.
