7/10
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit...
4 December 2000
This is a movie that I caught on cable that I'd never heard of when it was in mainstream theatrical release. It proved to be a gem, a real solid effort by all involved, from the screenwriter, director, and actors.

Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine give a fine performance as two-bit jewel thieves, but it's Jennifer Lopez that really blew me away as the mistress of Nicholson... this girl can flat-out act! Few women in this era of Hollywood can light up the screen like Lopez.

No, this movie isn't academy award material, and won't make anyone's top 10 or even top 20 list of all time, but it was a fun and well-done character study and is above-average fare for home video viewing. Fans of Nicholson and Caine won't be disappointed!
