Heartbreakers:
A very funny story about mother-daughter con artists. Their hook: The mother lures rich men into marrying her, catches them in a compromising position with a young temptress (the daughter), and takes them for everything in the divorce. Trouble brews when they head to Palm Beach, Florida, and the daughter wants to break out and find her own mark. While the mother seduces an elderly, billionaire tobacco magnate (Hackman), the daughter sets her sights on a young bar owner.
Hackman’s exceptional as a man who’s dying from using his own product, refuses to hire employees if they DON’T smoke, and refers to an art curator who requests he put out his cigarette to preserve the centuries-old paintings as a “Nazi.” Ray Liotta shows a great knack for comedy as a mark, but watch as he realizes he’s been double-crossed and pulls a gun. BOOM. Right back to Henry Hill in “Goodfellas.” Quite a transition. (Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Hackman, Liotta, Jason Lee, and the always good to see, Anne Bancroft)
