The realest con-artist

David Mametts house of games was a masterpiece. But what I really liked is that the con artist Mike is the most honest character in the movie. In the movie every character is playing a game and is pretending to be something they are not. They are tricking and stealing and abusing their talents to "win" the game. I am not saying that mike isn't doing this. He def is doing the same as everyone else, the only difference is that he is being honest about it. He never says hes not a con man. He never pretends that he is something he is not. He is just playing the game, being honest about it, and playing it better then everybody else. It is sad that he dies in the end. But that was part of the game he was playing. It was an inherent risk, if you steal money from people you run the risk of getting caught and killed. But he never lied about any of it, it was pretty awesome to see. He alone is the reason I liked the movie. I was not a fan of the robotic, full of bullshit Margret Ford.
