a strength that we see develop fully thanks to strong chemistry between Mickey and John Hawkes&#8217; Louis.\u00a0 Louis&#8217; kindness is the trigger that starts the emotional arc for Mickey and I, for one, as I did with the book and now on screen, love the transformation.\u00a0 As Aniston describes it, \u201cPretty much Mickey was living in the Petrified Forest with Frank [Tim Robbins] and very repressed, emotionally abused, and had no way and didn\u2019t even know how to make a move to get out of that jail.\u00a0 Oddly enough, the kidnapping is her \u2018get out of jail free\u2019 card.\u00a0 As the story progressed and her situation became more dire, that\u2019s how she found that strength, like women do when faced with unimaginable circumstances.\u201d\u00a0 Aniston owns the role.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-921\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/life-of-crime-2.jpg\" alt=\"life of crime - 2\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/life-of-crime-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/life-of-crime-2-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to John Hawkes, kind and pragmatic and actually, honesty, are the watchwords that he brings to Louis.\u00a0 A very soft and affable performance from Hawkes that we haven&#8217;t really seen before.\u00a0 Crediting Leonard\u2019s source material and writer\/director Schechter, Hawkes notes, \u201cA lot of it\u2019s on the page.\u00a0 A lot of it\u2019s in the book and in Dan\u2019s wonderful screenplay.\u00a0 But I was most interested in the relationship between Mickey and Louis. . .[O]ne thing I love about Louis is his grace through it all; that he\u2019s not despondent. . .\u201d\u00a0 Challenging for Hawkes was trying to \u201clay the character out in pieces\u201d to give Louis a completeness with texture and layers.\u00a0 \u201cI didn\u2019t want to come on screen and for the audience to say \u2018There\u2019s a cuddly bad guy.\u00a0 There\u2019s a lovable bad guy.\u2019\u00a0 It\u2019s important for the story for us to worry about Mickey as well as that Louis needed to be a guy who felt like he was formidable, and he did have some darkness and a bit of a rough side to him early on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As co-kidnapper Ordell, Mos Def is his own kind of fun and a great devil-on-the-shoulder foil for Louis&#8217; conscience. The only performance that doesn&#8217;t ring true for me is Will Forte&#8217;s Marshall.\u00a0 He actually makes Marshall more pervy than Mark Boone\u2019s Richard (a third player in the kidnapping)\u00a0 and I was more unsettled watching his advances to Mickey than Richard&#8217;s.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nice little comedic turn by Clea Lewis as Marshall&#8217;s whiney wife Tyra.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-922\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/life-of-crime-4.jpg\" alt=\"life of crime -
