Harold Perrineau, Jack Nicholson, Jennifer Lopez

Wine merchant Alex Gates seems to have it all: a fancy shop, a beautiful wife, Suzanne, a sexy Latin mistress, Gabriella, and a hot car. He enjoys the best vintages of the goods he sells. In truth, Al...( read more  read more... )ex Gates' finances are stretched to the limit, his marriage is in a shambles and his relationship with his stepson Jason is toxic. Alex's business caters to a wealthy clientele, whose riches prove all too seductive: particularly a certain $1 million diamond necklace. Alex joins with Victor Spanksy, an emphysemic safe-cracker, in a conspiracy to steal the necklace. Rather than the key to their freedom, the hot necklace proves to be the beginning of the end. While Alex is seduced by the jewels, his stepson is both sucked into the crime and drawn to Gabriella, unaware of her liaisons with his stepfather. As their passion grows, she is increasingly torn by the two of them, and by the temptations of money and love.

    The acting was good but the story is slow and a little boring.

    In a word..... different


    Shame really as I quite like Jack Nicholson but him together with Michael Caine .... it just all gets far too bizarre.
    Stephen Dorff was the only thing that kept the film interesting.

    So-so neo film noir. Nicholson, Dorff, Lopez and Davis are all good but Caine steals every scene he's in. Worth seeing just for his work.

    Okay honestly this movie didnt really do anything for me. It wasnt horrible though. It was slow, and kinda boring at times. Acting all around was nothing spectacular. I think I was least impressed by Lopez though. Not sure why, she just didnt do it for me. I liked Stephen Dorff t...( read more)hough. To be truthful he was a main reason I didnt turn it off halfway through. Caine played a weird guy, rather static as well. Nicholson was well....Nicholson. Your typical Jack. The story was rather lame too. No strong focus. Dont plan on watching this one again.

    This movie had great character crime drama. Jack Nicholson, Michael Caine, and Jennifer Lopez are awesome.

    I liked the accent Jennifer Lopez has in this movie. She usually sounds more American. Nice change.

    This looks like a good film and I usually like Jack Nicholson's films
