Nothing to Lose

Nothing to Lose (1997) is a crime comedy from Steve Oedekerk you can watch online on iFILM. An ad executive catches his wife in bed with his boss. Minutes later a carjacker climbs into his car and picks the worst victim of his career.

Nick Beam drives off in a daze, and that's when T-Paul slides into the passenger seat waving a gun and demanding everything. Trouble is, Nick has nothing left to give. Instead of fear, the robber gets a wrecked, reckless driver who floors it into the desert and drags the thief along for the ride. The carjacking turns into an odd partnership: a humiliated clerk and a hapless crook decide to rob the cheating boss together. Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence keep the film running on their bickering, while John C. McGinley and Giancarlo Esposito show up as actual hard cases who don't like outsiders working their turf.

This is late-'90s studio comedy at its purest: highway chases, mismatched-buddy banter, and jokes that aim for nothing deeper than a laugh. Director Oedekerk, a regular Jim Carrey collaborator, just wanted to entertain, and on that he delivers. Stream Nothing to Lose (1997) online on iFILM.
