Directed by Steven Soderbergh • 1998 • United States Starring George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle
The megawatt star power of George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez propels this sexy, sleekly entertaining Elmore Leonard adaptation. When career criminal Jack Foley (Clooney) escapes from prison with his partner (Ving Rhames), they must try to outrun the U.S. Marshals hot on their tails. What Foley doesn’t expect is to fall in love with one of them. Tough, no-nonsense cop Karen Sisco (Lopez) is similarly thrown to find herself developing feelings for the bank robber she’s chasing. Can a couple on opposite sides of the law overcome their differences to make a real connection?
