Sharper (2023)

I didn't know what this was when I started watching, so I thought -- after the first few minutes -- that it was a romantic drama that could morph into a thriller (a guess from the title). And I was sort of right, but happy to be surprised.

The story structure keeps us in the dark about who knows what. We sometimes go back over the same ground but from a different perspective or with added backstory. It's a well-done con-game movie that doesn't break new ground, but manages some surprises and entertains throughout.
