Shooting Fish

(Fox)

Director Stefan Schwartz's romp about young swindlers in London stars a relentlessly smug Dan Futterman (The Birdcage) and a puddle-eyed Stuart Townsend as flim-flammers who rip off the rich so that they can buy a big house. The buddies are joined by gamine gal pal Kate Beckinsale (Hero in Kenneth Branagh's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Emma in A&E's Emma), and not a moment too soon: her Audrey Hepburn spunk saves the film from choking on its coyness.
