Anemic remake of an underrated adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel. What was, in 1969, a sort of neo-James Cain hard-boiled thriller is now, under the direction of George Armitage (Miami Blues, Grosse Pointe Blank), a post-Tarantino, post-Get Shorty smarty-pants romp. And there is nothing to replace the sexual sparks between the off-screen husband and wife, Ryan O'Neal and Leigh Taylor-Young: nothing but the indolent self-satisfaction of Owen Wilson and the preening of a popsicle stick called Sara Foster. With Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, Gary Sinise, Bebe Neuwirth, and Willie Nelson. (2004) — Duncan Shepherd
