Life of Crime

What could be easier than to steal a person and demand money for them from a person who does not know their value? That's what Ordell Robbie from Louis Gar thought and decided to kidnap the wife of a not entirely conscientious and honest developer. A big pot and easy money, as it turned out, is not what they got at all. The man was not sad for long, he was just, on the contrary, glad to get rid of his wife, with whom he wanted to divorce for a long time. And here is such luck, you won't even have to divide the property after the divorce. And the clock is ticking, criminals need money and they dare to take a rather risky step. The attempt to take the situation under their control leads to the fact that both parties, the ungrateful husband and the grieving kidnappers, find themselves in a rather interesting situation.

The author of the original work is Elmore Leonard, and the film became a kind of spin-off of Quentin Tarantino's film "Jackie Brown" (1998). The connecting link between these two films was the character Mr. Walker and the characters played by Mos Def and John Hawkes. Robert De Niro and Samuel L. Jackson played Ordell and Louis in "Jackie Brown". During the creation of the film, director Daniel Schechter was inspired by the novel "The Switch". The film could be released at the end of the eighties, when the 20th Century Fox studio took up the development of the project. Diane Keaton could play the main role in "Steal My Woman". However, considering that the plot is very similar to the story in the movie "Ruthless People", which was supposed to be released at the same time, Leonard's film adaptation was frozen. In the current version of the frozen, but already moved from the dead point, the project could be played by Dennis Quaid. The actor was selected for the role of the rich man, who was eventually played by Tim Robbins. The bulk of the shooting period lasted 26 days, mostly in Greenwich, Connecticut.
