...four, Jean-Marc Rouillan, 34, and Nathalie Menigon, 30, are known as the "Bonnie and Clyde" of French terrorism, because of their brutal five- year reign as leaders of Action Directe. Rouillan is suspected of masterminding the murder of a French general in 1985, while Menigon and the second woman, Joelle Aubron, 27, had been sought for the assassination last November of the president of Renault, France's largest automaker.

For 15 seconds or so each, a dozen locals -- Louis the Country Bachelor (John Goodman), his pal Ramon (Tito Larriva) and even Byrne in a gigolo's mustache, but also...
Things pick up toward the end. Malcolm's ingenuity combines with Frank's greed and Judith's ideas for an exciting, amusing heist rivaling those of Bonnie and Clyde. The conclusion is fun, largely because it's uncluttered by fancy sets, mood lighting and stupid comedy...
