George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez d/ Steven Soderbergh
Jokey treatment of an Elmore Leonard story. The leads are an escaped convict and a federal marshall who meet cute in the trunk of a car. For plot purposes they fall in love and have adventures together.
None of this was plausible or interesting enough to be engrossing. The only saving grace was a supporting role by Don Cheadle who easily out-acted everybody else with a dynamic portrayal of a criminal/former boxer. Ms Lopez is nice looking but who ever thought this woman could act?
Soderbergh brings his usual snappy professional touch to the project and it moves right along but this was a live-action cartoon and didn't reach me at all.
