There's a good movie in here somewhere - Ripple
but the editor and producers apparently never discovered it. This show starts and stops with flashes of a good movie interspersed with long drawn out scenes that have no relevance to or appeal for the show.
A great cast can't save the show overall from the ridiculous side track "love affair" with J-Lo. I thought her acting wasn't that bad. There are so many quirky plot turns that didn't add anything at all to the movie I say the editor, perhaps the screenplay writer and the producers (who must not have watched the finished product) all deserve to be sentenced to watching their own crappy show for 24 hours.Great Characters and Great Ensemble Cast - Gregg
Likable bank robber (George Clooney) escapes prison with the aid of a former partner in crime who has an overworked conscience (Ving Rhames) but runs across a Federal Marshall (Jennifer Lopez) whom he quickly falls for and vice versa despite the obvious compatibility issue. In the meantime a big heist is planned involving some fellow inmates both as perpetrator (Don Cheadle) and victim (Albert Brooks).
The trailers seemed to paint this as far more of an action flick than it really is, what is more than anything else is a character study that is also a caper film with both romance and action elements. The actual plot is secondary to the characters for the most part and that’s fine. There seems to be no end to the charisma of the performers here, Clooney does quite a respectable job as a smooth bank robber while Lopez shines as the Federal Marshall who can’t seem to decide wht to do. As for the supporting players, I rarely if ever dislike anything done by Ving Rhames and everyone else (which includes Cheadle, Brooks, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Nancy Allen, Catherine Keener, Dennis Farina, Luis Guzman, Steven Zahn) turns in a good performance in some very small roles.
The film is directed by Steven Soderberg (Traffic, Erin Brockovich) and based on a novel by Elmore Leonard.
Above all else the characters, along with some great scenes and a very, very good ensemble cast make this a worthwhile if not outstanding film.Sexy thriller/comedy/drama/action movie - ivarknut
It's very hard to put this movie in a single category since it contains elements of so many. This movie gets everything right, it's smart and cool. It's funny and sexy.
George Clooney plays a bank robber who escapes from prison in Florida and tries to get a heist done in Detroit.
And who would have thought that George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez would make a believable couple? Every character is believable and 3-dimensional, and the actors playing them are perfect in this role.
One of my all-time favourite movies!
