This 1998 movie, a very clever, very sexy crime story, showed us the sparkling side of three different artists. George Clooney plays a bank robber with personal ethics and lots of personal charisma. Jennifer Lopez plays Karen Sisco, a U.S. marshal who gets her man, in more ways than one. And the movie is based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, whose writings subsequently inspired two TV series: Karen Sisco, a short-lived ABC spinoff starring Carla Gugino, and the superb Justified, the FX series star

At least from the Tigers dugout.
