I rented this on DVD and rather liked it. It starts out with a bang (and an explosion) as four men, planning to rob a gallery for a famous Vermeer (painting) are killed in a staged traffic accident (with requisite explosion). But one man escapes alive...
Segue to the wives being told their husbands are dead. Then one wife, Dolly (Mercedes Ruehl, played very well) decides to avenge her husband and the other men. She plans to finish the heist and draws the other widows into the plan.
That's the simple story, but there are several twists to the plot; both the viewer and the characters discover that things aren't always what they seem.
One of my favorite scenes - watch for "dueling dancers" in the warehouse. The director had fun with this one.
