...Hayek), completing the heist of a one-of-a-kind diamond and then jetting to a tropical island paradise to enjoy their retirement. Unbeknownst to them, FBI agent Stanley Lloyd (Woody Harrelson), still simmering from his botched attempt to prevent their robbery, has tracked them down and means to nab them with a brilliant scheme. There are a few decent comic moments thanks mostly to Harrelson, who seemingly takes on the daunting task of playing himself. But the sad truth is you would be better served catching up on some sleep than finding out what happens in this mind-numbing...

...Democrats have since recruited credible-enough candidates that the party now has a shot at holding on to three or four of the Southern seats--in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. And in the West, Democrats are hoping to nab the open seats left by the retirement of Republican Senators Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado and Don Nickles of Oklahoma, and to take on the vulnerable Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.
