Description

Jennifer Aniston stars as a kidnapped wife, whose wealthy husband (Tim Robbins) doesn’t want to pay her ransom in the dark caper comedy “Life of Crime”, adapted from Elmore Leonard’s book The Switch.

When a pair of low-level criminals kidnap the wife of a corrupt real-estate developer, they get both more and less than they bargained for in “Life of Crime”.

Mickey Dawson (Jennifer Aniston), the wife of crooked real-estate developer Frank Dawson (Tim Robbins), is kidnapped by two common criminals (Yasiin Bey and John Hawkes), who intend to hold her for a $1 million ransom and extort her husband with inside information about his illegal business dealings. But Frank, who is holed up in the Bahamas with his mistress, decides he’d rather not get his wife back, setting off a sequence of double-crosses and plot twists that could only come from the mind of master storyteller Elmore Leonard.

“Life of Crime” is packed with the outrageously eccentric characters, black comedy and unexpected twists that earned Leonard a reputation as one of America’s sharpest and funniest crime writers. The all-star cast also features John Hawkes, Yasiin Bey, Mark Boone Junior, Isla Fisher and Will Forte.
