    Filled with vivid and likable characters, The Opportunists could be the basis for a TV series as captivating as "The Sopranos."
  2. 80
    A very small film, as they say in the movie business, but its stylish suspensefulness is nicely leavened by Connell's obvious, and welcome, love for his hapless characters.
  3. 80
    It's Walken who's most impressive.
  4. 60
    The plot isn't what makes this movie worth watching anyway -- it's the performances and the ambiance.
