his partner breaks him out of prison, but the hapless duo ends up
kidnapping Federal Marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez) during the
escape. While hidden in a car trunk, Foley and Sisco become
irresistibly attracted to each other. Foley and Bragg then head off on
their final "big hit," but Sisco gets assigned to the case. Should she
arrest him, let him get away, or just shoot him and get it all over
with? Based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, author of the novels behind

Hana-Bi (Fireworks) is a film of contradictions: a mix of artistic
beauty, explosive action, wrenching violence, and poignant
emotion. Detective Nishi (Takeshi Kitano), a cop with a violent streak
and few words, is troubled by a dying wife and a loan from the
Japanese Mafia. While visiting his wife in the hospital, Nishi's
partner-a high-school friend-is shot and paralyzed. Disillusioned and
unable to cope with these emotional burdens, Nishi leaves the police
force, steals a car, robs a bank, and departs with his wife for a
final farewell journey. Sponsored in part by the MIT Japan Program and
the MIT Foreign Language Department. In Japanese, with English
subtitles.
