Blood and Wine (1996 Bob Rafelson)

From a story by Nick Villiers and the director, screenwritten by Villiers and Alison Cross. Stephen Dorff's stepfather Jack Nicholson has planned a jewel robbery with vile and emphysemic British ex-con Michael Caine. He's also having an affair with Jennifer Lopez, who happens to be the nanny of the place where the jewels are. But owing to a bust up with his alcoholic wife Judy Davis, the jewels end up in the wrong place...

Nicholson is nasty (he's probably only using Jay-Lo for inside information) but at least does display ounces of compassion, unlike Caine, who's an out and out bastard. Great performances from both, and Dorff, Lopez and Davis. It's got a sort of doomed John Huston feel to it.

Newton Thomas Sigel (Bohemian Rhapsody, Drive, Towelhead, Leatherheads, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, The Usual Suspects) shoots Florida locations in nice rich tones suggestive of dawn and dusk.
