Description
Den 44-årige stewardesse Jackie Burke har længe suppleret sin indtægt ved at smugle ulovligt tjente penge fra Jamaica til USA for våbenhandleren Ordell Robbie, da politiet griber hende på fersk gerning. Men det er Ordell, de egentlig er interesserede i, og nu truer de Jackie med fængsel, hvis ikke hun lokker ham i en fælde for dem. Ordell får nys om fælden, og nu bliver Jackie presset fra to sider. Samtidig ved hun, at hun ender som en fattig taber, uanset om Ordell bliver fanget eller ej, og hun giver sig til at lægge sin helt egen plan, som er endnu mere risikabel end de to andre. "Rum punch" blev i 1997 filmatiseret af Quentin Tarantino med titlen "Jackie Brown" med Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson og Robert De Niro i hovedrollerne. Elmore Leonard (1925-2013) var en amerikansk forfatter, der skrev en lang række populære krimier og spændingsromaner. Hans romaner er blevet oversat til mange sprog og har solgt mange millioner eksemplarer verden over. Elmore Leonard står desuden bag en lang række filmmanuskripter, og flere af hans værker er blevet filmatiseret af stjerneinstruktører som Quentin Tarantino og Danny DeVito.
