Help me out
My dad wanted me to get this movie from Netflix that he seen a while ago. Problem is he doesn't remember name of the movie or any of the actors.
He told me it was about a con. Everyone was playing cards at a table, and everyone at the table was conning everyone else outside of the card game.
He said he thought the actors had foreign accents, probably British I would guess. He said the year was around '89/'90. Anyway, he said I would like it and I wanted to find out the name of it, any help would be appreciated.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
It's more recent than 89-90 but it sounds a little like...
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Thanks for the quick replies. He says the title is shorter than Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. One or two word title he believes. Watched the preview to The Sting, that was not it, but I have not seen it and it looked good so I put it in my Netflix queue
Yea...this is going to bug the crap out of me now trying to find this movie, any more help would be good...and it is definately older than '02.

Could it be either Maverick or even Rounders? These are a stretch because of the dates and accents you mentioned, but I figure it's worth a shot because memories can get fuzzy to even the best of us. Both good movies, just the same.
Edit:
Didn't see that this was already solved above. Oh well, still good resource for card-playing movies!
