Summary

In "The Big Bounce," a comedy caper staring Owen Wilson and Morgan Freeman based on the novel by legendary crime fiction writer Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, Out Of Sight, Jackie Brown), Owen Wilson plays Jack Ryan, a surfer and likeable drifter trying to loot the fortune of a wealthy developer Ray Ritchie (Sinese) with Ray's slinky mistress Nancy Hayes (Foster) and rival businessman, District Judge Walter Crewes (Freeman) who's out for revenge. Jack soon finds that on the exotic North Shore of O'ahu, temptation is everywhere and in paradise he gets more than he bargained for in Nancy, an opportunist who uses seduction as her weapon of choice. It doesn't get any sweeter than this: Jack is seduced by a tropical island, a beautiful woman and a lot of cash

It's senseless esthetic scrambling. Sure, poor black fol
