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. (Author Elmore Leonard's characters Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara were made famous on screen by Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Yasiin Bey and John Hawkes assume these characters in Life of Crime.
Who among family and friends would go to any lengths to pay for your ransom if you were kidnapped, and why?
