I just love this movie. I know I may lose credibility by saying Jennifer Lopez is a better actress than what she gets credit for, but ... there it is. This movie is only slightly erotic as Clooney's character fantasizes about JLo's character. This is a crime-comedy, one which I haven't seen the likes of in some time. By the way, did I tell just about everyone in Hollywood stops by to play a bit role in this film? Albert Brooks plays more than a cameo and is stellar. Don Cheadle is in a familiar bad boy role, and gives a 10 performance. Don't you just love Dennis Farina when he plays at least 50% the cynic? There are some very funny lines (especially one with Farina and Michael Keaton...I did say EVERYONE, didn't I?), and some very frightening lines as well, as the movie meanders the dark comedy line. Even Samuel L. Jackson drops in, but you'll have to wait a while...
Ving Rhames is great as Clooney's sidekick, and the writers use a wonderful handicap device for Ving's character that just tickles you. Luis Guzman is hilarious.
