Synopsis
Steven Soderbergh directed this crime caper adapted from the novel by Elmore Leonard. When ex-con Jack Foley (George Clooney) robs a bank, his car goes dead, and Foley lands in a Florida prison. His escape from prison doesn't go as planned, since it's witnessed by deputy federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). Foley's pal Buddy Bragg (Ving Rhames) intervenes, with the result that Sisco winds up in the trunk of the getaway car with Foley, and the two realize they're attracted to each other, despite being on opposite sides of the law. However, that doesn't stop Sisco from her mission to capture Foley, who has spent much of his life in prison. Flashbacks introduce Foley's fellow prisoners, including dim dude Glenn Michaels (Steve Zahn), violent Maurice "Snoopy" Miller (Don Cheadle), and insider trader and billionaire Richard Ripley (Albert Brooks), who talks too much about his wealth. This later leads to a break-in at Ripley's posh Detroit estate by Miller, his brother-in-law Kenneth (Isaiah Washington), and menacing White Boy Rob (Keith Loneker). While seeking a hidden safe, the group threatens Ripley's housekeeper Midge (Nancy Allen). Foley and Bragg are in on this operation, but they wind up outwitting the others, and Sisco is close on their trail. The film features uncredited cameos by Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson, and was shot in locations in Florida, Louisiana, and Michigan. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

This has been on my "to see" list for years and I just got around to watching it. It is smart and funny and warm. All kinds of talented actors
are in this film and they are all good. My lady came home and watched the last 25 min with me, and we watched it over again once it ended!

On a side note, am I the only one who has noticed that the majority of crabby, negative reviews are from people who ended up cancelling their
greencine account? Whenever I read a harsh "drive by" review, I click on the members name link and see if it says "this profile is no longer active"
Try it - you'll see.

This movie is vastly overrated by krisalm April 22, 2004 - 11:11 AM PDT

This movie is completely uninteresting. Why people seem to like so much is beyond me.
