Denis Leary co-wrote the script for this
romantic comedy-drama.
Leary plays
Frank O'Brien, a no-class, small-time hood who is the boyfriend of
Roz (
Sandra Bullock), a cashier with a New York Jewish background who dreams of settling down and having kids.
Roz wants out of the relationship but is fearful to break up. On a Friday, she accompanies
Frank as he steals a painting. He tells her that it's his last job as a thief.
Frank plans the delivery for Sunday evening so that they can turn the job into a getaway weekend. They go to a New England town and break into a huge home; the owners are on vacation. A sophisticated neighbor,
Evan Marsh (
Stephen Dillane), believes that they are friends of the owners' children and invites them to a party.
Evan is an upper-class bachelor and is attracted to
Roz.
Roz goes horseback riding and boating with him, pretending a sophistication she doesn't possess, while
Frank fumes at the rich rival. Meanwhile,
Frank's crime boss
Beano (
Wayne Robson) learns that the painting
Frank has stolen is a four-million-dollar Matisse and comes to the town with three henchmen. They are pursued by
Detective O'Malley (
Yaphet Kotto), who is trying to find a mysterious master art thief.
