Sucker errs by not spending enough screen-time devising and carrying off creative cons; instead, it invests too much in sub-stories that are never fleshed out, nor as engrossing as the cons these promising characters could have pulled off.

Undemanding and ultimately irritating but gentle con-man comedy from Australia.

Spall is the film's greatest asset but Luc's performance is a more harmonious fit tonally. Like the film, he is pleasant, unprepossessing and nothing to write home about.

Sucker is likable, geeky and gently funny rather than hilarious.
