A gang
of blackmailer, led by Coco (Gugino) plans a kidnapping but I’m waiting for
Thompson and Rickman.
OK, the
kidnapping happens but a woman is shot and killed. Rickman is the detective for
the murder and Thompson is the FBI agent for the kidnapping. In their first
meeting they have a snappy exchange, spouting jocular stereotypes of
female/male cops.
Heist films are not usually my cup of tea but it’s fun to see ET and AR in roles unlike most others they’ve done and there are a few more layers to the story than most heist films.
