Blood & Wine (1996)

Blood u0026 Wine: Directed by Bob Rafelson. With Jack Nicholson, Stephen Dorff, Jennifer Lopez, Judy Davis. A man who has failed as a father and husband commits a heist to make money for his fledging business, but things become complicated when his wife interferes.

“Jack Nicholson and Michael Caine are so good in this movie. The temptation to chew up the scenery must have been overwhelming, but neither did. Neither grandstanded, and each played their vastly unappealing characters right down to the last detail. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCaine plays an aging and ill thief looking for that last big score on which he can retire. Nicholson plays a middle-class wine distributor locked into an unhappy marriage, failing business, and a young girlfriend to support. They unite to rob one of Nicholsonu0026#39;s clients, an act they feel will solve all of their problems. Of course it doesnu0026#39;t and everything that can go wrong, does. And then things begin to turn ugly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDark, noirish, this is not a feel-good caper flick. Itu0026#39;s definitely not u0026quot;The Stingu0026quot;. What it is is well acted, directed, and filmed. Highly recommended, Iu0026#39;m just puzzled why it was overlooked at the Academy Awards.”
