"One question. Do you want to stick to that story, or do you want to keep your teeth?"
(Bobo to Lilly)

The Grifters (1990), directed by Stephen Frears, is a tense neo-noir thriller based on Jim Thompson's novel. It stars John Cusack as small-time con man Roy Dillon, with Anjelica Huston as his scheming mother Lilly, and Annette Bening as his dangerously seductive girlfriend Myra. Pat Hingle also appears as Bobo, Roy's tough, no-nonsense mentor and a shadowy figure from his past, adding another layer to the complex relationships that drive this dark world of deception and moral ambiguity.
