The Big Bounce (Widescreen Edition)
There really can't be enough movies adapted from Elmore Leonard novels;  his sinuous storylines and fluid, surprising dialogue give any movie a  boost from the start. InThe Big Bounce, laid-back Owen Wilson  (The Royal Tenenbaums,Shanghai Noon) plays Jack, a  small-time crook trying to lead an easier life in Hawaii. Trouble is, he  can't keep out of trouble, and when he does stay clean, trouble finds  him--in this case, in the bikini-clad form of Nancy (Sara Foster), the  mistress of a local developer who gets turned on by the whiff criminal  activity. She lures Jack into a scheme that ultimately involves a solid  cast including Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, Gary Sinise, Bebe Neuwirth,  Willie Nelson, and more. Foster doesn't bring much to movie besides her  alarmingly sculpted body and the ending peters out, butThe Big  Bouncehas enough snap and crackle that you don't miss the pop.--Bret Fetzer
