A missed classic

JoeB131

Here's a pretty good movie with some name stars in it.

Jack Nicholson plays a wine dealer who plans to turn around his failing business by stealing diamonds from a rich client. He's also having a fling with their nanny, played by a not yet famous Jennifer Lopez.

However, his family takes the diamonds unknowingly, setting up chases and conflicts.

The performances are tight, and it's a gritty movie. Nicholson plays a truly detestable character. Michael Caine plays his rather sad partner, who is dying of cancer and trying to get one last score so he can die in comfort. Lopez is actually pretty good, it's before they actually gave her control over her productions.

score 8/10
