Life of Crime

ComedyCrime98 min

Two small-time criminals think they’ve found a clean payday when they kidnap the wife of a crooked real-estate developer and demand $1 million for her return. Jennifer Aniston is Mickey Dawson, a suburban housewife who becomes the center of a ransom scheme after her husband refuses to pay; Tim Robbins’ Frank is more concerned with protecting himself, and his affair, than bringing her home. John Hawkes and Yasiin Bey are the pair behind the abduction, and their straightforward plan quickly turns into a chain of crossed signals, shifting loyalties, and dryly comic criminal fallout.
