Tiffany, Charlie and Vernon are con artists looking to up the ante from their typical scams. They figure a good way of doing this is taking down Dean "The Dean" Stevens, a well-known cardsharp, in a rigged game. However, they first need enough money to enter a game with Stevens, so they decide to strike a deal with fellow crook Larry Jennings to scam a local gangster -- which turns out to be a bad idea.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Card sharks and grifters look like the stuff of an engrossing movie in Shade, but, in the end, under-realized direction and characters deliver less than a full deck.

rotten:
A failure on every conceivable level -- from its trite, pedestrian dialogue to its static, torturous pacing.
– Rene Rodriguez,

fresh:
Loaded with dizzying cons and betrayals, it pays off with a satisfying and unpredictable finish.
– Kevin Thomas,

rotten:
Through some mystery of connection and financing that involves producer Merv Griffin, many worthy players are degraded by Nieman's amateur stylings.

fresh:
A dramatic thriller with a large cast playing the hell out of some very juicy roles.
