Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson return to surer material than Man Trouble - a plotty thriller about a heist that goes wrong, done by Nicholson. Stephen Dorff has a big role as Nicholson's stepson. Watching him tee off against Nicholson you can see why Dorff never became a star. He's TV. You can see why Jennifer Lopez (Nicholson's mistress, directed in pervy fashion by Rafelson) did. And Michael Caine.
Film would've been better had Judy Davis or J Lo squared off against Nicholson. Film has a strong middle but runs into problems when Judy Davis and Michael Caine die.
