Hot Pursuit

Officer Rose Cooper (Witherspoon) takes her job very seriously. Her intensity has gotten her into trouble on the job and often carries over into her personal life. When she's finally given an important assignment, her first since her last major incident, she eagerly leaps at the opportunity to prove herself capable of restraint. She and another officer are tasked with picking up a member of a drug cartel (Laresca) who's become an informant and is set to testify against the cartel's kingpin. When they arrive at the informant's house, though, they're ambushed by thugs who kill both her partner and the informant. With the hit men in hot pursuit, Cooper and Daniella (Vergara), the informant's stunning wife, flee for their lives in a high-speed chase across Texas.
