This
film is based on a novel titled The Switch by Elmore Leonard. Mickey Dawson is the wife of Frank
Dawson. Frank is a corrupt
real-estate developer and he has one
million dollars in an offshore account. He
adjusts his real-estate holdings and he doesn’t claim a lot of money on his
taxes. Two criminals kidnap Mickey
and they ask Frank for his million dollars as ransom. What they don’t know is that Frank has just signed divorce
papers and they are to be served to Mickey while he is away in Florida. Frank has a girlfriend in Florida and
they both know Frank won’t pay $1 for ransom on Mickey.
There
are a lot of twists and turns in this film. I didn’t find it to be at all funny and there is nothing new
here. It just seems to be going through
it’s paces without much energy. 2
