Light hearted crime romp, with a twist., 19 November 2002
9/10
Author: jfkeegan from New Jersey, USA

A great movie to see while knowing nothing much about it. (Stop here if this is you, and watch it!)

A marvelous script, and Coburn is fantastic. The rest of the cast does a great job with their material, too. Good to very good direction and good to very good production values.

Cute sub-plot, and a nice ironic twist at the very end.

This has long been one of my favorite movies.
