Life of Crime

[wilder]

Based on Elmore Leonard's novel "The Switch," LIFE OF CRIME is a dark caper comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, John Hawkes, Yasiin Bey, Will Forte, Mark Boone Junior, Isla Fisher and Tim Robbins. The wife (JENNIFER ANISTON) of a corrupt real estate developer (TIM ROBBINS) is kidnapped by two common criminals (Yasiin Bey and JOHN HAWKES), who intend to extort him with inside information about his crooked business and off-shore accounts. But the husband decides he'd actually rather not pay the ransom to get back his wife, setting off an unbelievable sequence of double crosses and plot twists that could only come from the mind of Elmore Leonard.


From The Playlist:

Leonard's "The Switch" is a kind of prequel to "Rum Punch" and centers on Louis (Hawkes) and Ordell (Mos Def as Yasiin Bey) as two common criminals in 1970s Detroit who kidnap a woman. You'll remember these two characters from Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" (his adaptation of "Rum Punch") as played by Robert DeNiro and Samuel L. Jackson. But the similarities seem to end there.
