Synopsis
Susana ne sait plus où trouver de l'argent pour survivre avec sa petite fille, après que son mari est hospitalisé dans un asile psychiatrique. Un jour, elle décide de cambrioler une maison de crédits, et se lance ainsi à une succession de délits similaires, croyant à chaque fois que ce sera la dernière. La presse l'appelle "Pepita la pistolera" et la décrit comme une dangereuse délinquante alors qu'elle ne cherche qu'à résoudre des besoins de base de manière temporaire. Un jour, la TV annonce que la police a finalement attrapé Pepita la Pistolera et montre la photo d'une pauvre femme, mère d'un bébé de six mois. Pepita décide donc d'organiser un dernier cambriolage.Comments

Larry Gigli (Ben Affleck) is a low-ranking Los Angeles mobster who isn't nearly as tough as he likes to act. He is commanded to kidnap the mentally challenged younger brother of a powerful federal prosecutor to save New York-based mob boss Starkman (Al Pacino) from prison. Gigli successfully convinces the young man, Brian (Justin Bartha), to go off with him by promising to take him "to the Baywatch", which seems to be Brian's singular obsession, and turns out to just be the beach. The man who ordered the kidnapping, Louis (Lenny Venito), does not trust Gigli to get the job done right, so he hires a woman calling herself Ricki (Jennifer Lopez) to take charge.
