The first laugh doesn't give it all away. Kyra Sedgwick, playing a New York TV reporter, shows up to cover the would-be suicide of a man on a ledge. She finishes her breathless report, and then, with more than a hint of Rita Moreno sneaking into her voice, the WASPy Sedgwick says, "Suzie Morales reporrrrrting."
Well, snicker.
Then we see Genesis Rodriguez, who as Angie has shown up to pull off an elaborate jewelry-store burglary in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider togs -- lots of skin and a push-up bra whose engineering only NASA could appreciate. Tee hee.
