There was a movie made of the Grifters based on the original novel by pulp crime novelist Jim Thompson
The film adaptation of The Grifters starred Anjelica Huston, Annette Bening and John Cusack and was directed by Stephen Frears who has made some really quality cinema over the years including My Beautiful Launderette & High Fidelity. You'd be well advised to give his body of work the once over and watch a few of the lesser known ones. He does quality work.
Slipknot (1996)
The beauty of the modern world is that if you really want to watch the entire movie it is currently up on Youtube in its entirety. There are worse things you could do with a couple of hours. If you need somebody else's opinion it has a pretty credible score on Rotten Tomatoes and I suspect that following doing all this posting I may in fact revisit this one because I really don't remember much about it besides that I really rather enjoyed it quite a bit.
You may too.
