Excellent character-driven caper from Steven Soderbergh, based on a novel by Elmore Leonard. Jack Foley (a charming George Clooney) meets US Marshal Karen Sisco (an unrecognizable -- in a good way -- Jennifer Lopez) while escaping from prison, and their low-key romance becomes intertwined with their work: his heist, her pursuit.

A less smarmy prototype for Soderbergh and Clooney's Ocean's Eleven reboot, it's great fun: dark comedy with a bit of heart.
