Slight Caper, 15 September 2009
7/10
Author: kenjha

In this comedy crime caper, escaped prisoners plan robbery while federal agents are in pursuit. The plot is rather flimsy and the script is disjointed and uninvolving, relying on characters to sustain interest. The large cast of familiar faces is quite good but the actors are not given interesting things to do and say. Clooney and Lopez make an attractive couple and generate romantic sparks. Soderbergh tries to infuse the proceedings with a visual flair but his overactive camera is more annoying than innovative. Given the cast and the track record of previous films based on Leonard's novels and stories, this is a disappointment.
