Review

elmore leonard at his peak. this one is funny, snappy, and romantic. having seen this again since ocean’s eleven came out it occured to me that they’re remarkably similar films. maybe soderbergh isn’t as great as i gave him credit for. jennifer lopez (before she was j.lo or had released an album) is actually quite good in her role here. steve zahn and don cheadle are both great as bungling criminals. a good script that shifts time around a bit, has some good, fresh characters and direction to match the tone and feel of the story.
