Enough of them to make the film fairly enjoyable at least the first time around.
OK, I admit I'm a sucker for these twisty-turny mystery yarns, and while "Criminal" is not at the top of the game, it's got its moments.

In "Criminal," there's more of a grimy, street-feel to this crafty little con-game thriller than there was in the first film.
Criminal" is rated R for frequent use of strong sexual profanity and some crude sexual slang terms, violence (a brief scuffle and some gunplay), use of some ethnic slurs, and brief drug content (references to drug abuse).

The plot as it uncoils is indeed ingenious.
