Convinced?

Billy Crudup, Alan Arkin and Greg Kinnear have all signed on to the crime thriller "The Convincer," reports Variety.

The story follows a desperate insurance salesman whose scheme to get a hold of a rare violin leads to unforeseen consequences.

Jill Sprecher directs from a script she and her sister Karen co-wrote.

Mary Frances Budig, Elizabeth Redleaf and Christine Walker are producing the pic.

Is it just me--or does this one sound really...um er ...boring....At first glance at least?
