Criminal

John C. Reilly can be a bit hit or miss in staring roles—you either like his shtick in movies like Walk Hard and Step Brothers or you don’t, and his independent films can as dark as his comedies are broad. But one thing Reilly has nailed is the likably unlikable character.

If you’re tired of criminals with hearts of gold (Oceans 11, Italian Job, etc.), then Criminal might be just the movie for you. Without giving too much away, I’ll say that you keep waiting for Reilly to do the right thing, but you’re not really disappointed when he doesn’t (he is a con man, after all).

Also, if you prefer Maggie Gyllenhaal in roles that lean more towards sexy than quirky Crminal is a good flick to check out.
