This movie is a pure gem for any neo-noir fan. It boasts fine performances from veterans e.g. Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine. The plot is age-old heist gone wrong with new twists and turns. But it never ceases to loose your attention. The direction is top-notch. If you are a fan of film-noir orJack Nicholson and/or Michael Caine , this is a must watch for you.

This film was interesting! It is not the best but i feel that it is still worth a watch! The acting was good (especially by Jack Nicholson!) and the cinematography was great! It really captured the beautiful scenery of Miami,Florida! Michael Caine also plays an interesting character! This movie has an A List cast but it seems to be lacking something... Don't get me wrong it was very entertaining but i feel that it was missing something... This is a very underrated film and it should be watched by film buffs and fans of Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine! Also the ending was extremely ironic and surprising! the film had a 1970's film noir kind of feel too. This is one of the better caper films that i have seen and like i said before, in my opinion it is definitely worth a watch!

Here's a pretty good movie with some name stars in it. Jack Nicholson plays a wine dealer who plans to turn around his failing business by stealing diamonds from a rich client. He's also having a fling with their nanny, played by a not yet famous Jennifer Lopez. However, his family takes the diamonds unknowingly, setting up chases and conflicts. The performances are tight, and it's a gritty movie. Nicholson plays a truly detestable character. Michael Caine plays his rather sad partner, who is dying of cancer and trying to get one last score so he can die in comfort. Lopez is actually pretty good, it's before they actually gave her control over her productions.

Again, a stellar cast cannot help this miserable film.Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine are on a caper to steal a necklace. Nicholson seems to be in a very bad marriage with Judy Davis. Davis is the bright moment in this otherwise uneven drama. She is explosive and pulls out all the stops in her violent scenes with "husband" Nicholson.Caine coughs up a storm here as the dying thief. At least, he got his wish by not dying in prison.Jennifer Lopez appears as the love interest of Nicholson and his stepson-the son of Davis.The films tends to become overly violent. There are frequent uses of sticks to do the beating. Someone should have taken a stick to this film.
