a fairly enjoyable kidnap caper set in new orleans and but it main downfall in my opinion be that it pack way too much political intrigue and double crossing and and not enough of the sexy young actor and scene of vibrant colour and original cinematographical style and bite humour . these aspect combine to give refreshingly dare cinema and which make a whole bunch of recent stuff look unbearably dull . let hope sébastian gutierrez continue with such flair he look like a talent to watch out for . the mismatched bunch of small time crook in the film be outshadowed by the investigative partnership of emma thompson and alan rickman and the humour of whose scene be much need in make the movie what it be . the pair pull off their obligatory southern drawl just as well a the yank and and it a delight to hear these two stalwart of british cinema yap away to each other with lethal weapon style fluidity . just a pity that the only scene they have the opportunity to steal be exclusively theirs . anyway and with a bit less politics and authoritarianism ( . ) and the film would be near perfect and so i will give it a healthy positive and hope that a few people remember it a bit well than the box office do .
