Hoax
It’s the “Aviator” meets “Catch Me If You Can”, but without Leonardo DiCaprio. Richard Gere as author Clifford Irving proves that the bigger the lie is, the more believable it is. Irving convinces his publisher that he is working with billionaire Howard Hughes on an autobiography. Photos, film clips, and 70’s music takes us back to that time and place. Gere is convincing as the outrageous liar and schemer. Alfred Molino is very funny as the loyal sidekick and partner in crime. It is hard to believe this is a true story.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “con man of the year” stars out of 4.
