As Elmore Leonard screen adaptations go, "Life of Crime" packs in plenty of atmosphere, but not much punch. Though faithful to "The Switch," the 1978 Detroit-set novel on which it's based, the film's overall affect is flat, and its pacing ponderous. You can't shake the feeling that the action's in slo-mo and the attitude lackadaisical, even when the cars and characters are going full tilt.
