Life of Crime (2013)
Remember the movie Ruthless People? It was really funny, right? Who, in their infinite brilliance, decided to remake this movie and make it a frightening drama?
The preview of this movie is incredibly misleading; it makes it seem like a regular comedic remake. A rich woman is kidnapped, and her husband is thrilled by her absence, rather than eager to pay the ransom money. Again I ask, who decided to make this a drama?
Jennifer Aniston plays the wife, and gives a solid dramatic performance, as she usually does when given the chance. She reminds the audience that she is in real danger, and that her kidnappers could hurt her, or worse.
I didn’t happen to like it, because I kept waiting for the jokes to start. If you go into it knowing it’s a tension-filled, upsetting kidnapping movie—and you actually like that type of movie—you might, well, like it a little.
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to sex scenes and extremely upsetting situations, I wouldn’t let my kids watch it. Also, there may or may not be a rape scene.
