Elmore Leonard does write a good story - this is from his 1978 novel 'The Switch' and though this is also when the film is set it doesn't make much of the period - not in the way American Hustle and Inherent Vice did - but that's probably down to budget.
Good cast comprising Jennifer Aniston, we liked John Hawkes as the sympathetic kidnapper (Me and You and Everyone We Know, Martha Marcy May Marlene), Yasiin Bey (Be Kind Rewind), Tim Robbins, Will Forte (Nebraska) and Ilsa Fisher.
It doesn't have the zip of the more successful earlier adaptations of Out of Sight or Get Shorty but it's thoroughly enjoyable.
