With so many high standing peers (both contemporary and classic), it just doesn't have the muscle or the nous to make an impression.

FAKERS is a sharp, fast moving tale of blackmail and forgery set in the upper echelons of the international art society. Set in present day London and 1911 Italy.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Despite engaging performances from a cast led by Matthew Rhys and Kate Ashfield and pro direction by first-timer Richard Janes, yarn about art grifters lacks real snap, which ultimately stems from the so-so script and lack of real coin.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust
The scenario isn't entirely plausible, but the actors are engaging and you can't beat the running time.
If you can't count on a British con movie to deliver at least a few moments of entertaining color, well, then what can you count on? Director Richard Janes' slight and wobbly Fakers comes close to shattering one's faith in a just and orderly universe.
