Plot Summary
When a pampered housewife (Jennifer Aniston) is kidnapped by a pair of blundering ex-cons in an effort to extort money from her sleazy real-estate tycoon husband (Tim Robbins), the perfect crime becomes the perfect opportunity for the husband to ride off in the sunset with his sexy young mistress (Isla Fisher)…until the housewife decides to even the score. From the author of Get Shorty and Rum Punch (which inspired Jackie Brown), comes this crime-thriller comedy where everyone's a suspect.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: As a late-summer caper movie, it hits the spot.
Fresh: "Life of Crime" has the authentic Leonard snap, crackle and pop.
Rotten: The cast does capable work, but you'll wish the movie concentrated more on the comedy, which has some zing, rather than the straighter elements, which quickly start to drag.
Fresh: A loose, cynical kidnapping caper set, literally and emotionally, in the `70s - right down to its main-title typography - it's a small treat.
Customer Reviews
So Good
Fantastic cast, and the perfect mix of story elements that I have come to expect from most Elmore Leonard adaptations. This is why I rent these independent films on iTunes. Most of the time they are better than what is in theaters. Worth every penny for the rent.
Loved it!
Awesome movie. Totally loved the twist in the end.
Solid, fun movie
The acting was spot on for the story. It’s not The Departed, but it isn’t supposed to be. WELL worth watching. Saying it is humorless says more about the reviewer than the movie.
