Advertising executive Nick Beame learns that his wife is sleeping with his employer. In a state of despair, he encounters a bumbling thief whose attempted carjacking goes awry when Nick takes him on an involuntary joyride. Soon the betrayed businessman and the incompetent crook strike up a partnership and develop a robbery-revenge scheme. But it turns out that some other criminals in the area don't appreciate the competition.
Nothing to Lose is a mid-tier 90s buddy comedy that hits familiar genre beats without much distinction. Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence have decent chemistry, providing the film's main appeal, but the plot is formulaic road-trip/odd-couple territory with predictable beats and a by-the-numbers revenge arc. Cinematography is unremarkable TV-movie level work. The film offers little novelty beyond its lead pairing, and the ending wraps up too neatly without earning its resolution. Solid but forgettable mainstream comedy.
