Win 1 of 10 ‘Life Of Crime’ Double Passes, courtesy of Madman Entertainment

Score tickets to this caper comedy starring a knockout cast.


Author Elmore Leonard’s characters Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara were made famous on the screen by Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Stepping into the skin of Robbie and Gara for a very different adventure set fifteen years prior to the events of Jackie Brown, Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) and John Hawkes star in Life Of Crime.

Fresh out of prison, where they bonded over their similar convictions for grand theft auto, Ordell (Bey) and Louis (Hawkes) have already decided to team up when they catch wind of Frank Dawson (Tim Robbins), a Detroit property developer and secret embezzler. Their plan is simple: they’ll kidnap Frank’s country-club wife, Mickey (Jennifer Aniston), and hold her for ransom. What the duo didn’t count on is that Frank’s affections have turned to his perky young mistress, Melanie (Isla Fisher), and he may not be in a rush to rescue his spouse. Eliciting Mickey’s insider knowledge, the crooks shift gears, frantically devising a new plan.
