Ron Shelton (Bull Durham, Tin Cup) tries his hand at a Midnight Run-ish-sorta thing, even going so far as to get Joey Pants in the film. But instead of a salty ex-cop protecting a prissy accountant from the mob, this one's about an ex-fed (Tommy Lee Jones) helping protect a mob lawyer (Morgan Freeman) from attempted assassination. Co-starring Rene Russo, an amazing screen presence that Hollywood has never really known what to do with, and is probably utterly wasted here, because lord knows she should be doing something more than playing her umpteenth romantic foil, especially to either ancient-ass Cragface McScowlhead or Batman's old-as-fuck IT department. Not screened for critics.
