I read an article before that was a script review of the original draft Martin Brest wrote before the studio changed it to a romantic comedy. The original film was very different, meant to be in the style of films like Heat and was meant to be a bloody gangster film. Things different:

01. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's characters never fell in love.
02. Tons of more scenes involving Lainie Kazan and her relationship with Ben Affleck.
03. More depth on what is not "pointless" in the film. (Mostly due to the ending.)

The original ending went like this:
Ben Affleck does sort of fall for Lopez, but not in a corny way. At the end, Lopez sort of seduces him in a way. She is a lesbian, remember, but she does it for the sake of what she has been hired to do. Lenny Venito's character put together a plan for Christopher Walken to murder Affleck because of some past issues between Affleck, Walken, and Kazan (hint: why Walken and Affleck no each other so well in Walken's cameo). Lopez was hired by Venito to seduce Affleck and to ultimately trap him into his path of death. Missy Crider, the wristcutter who appears for no reason, is in fact, the REAL Ricki (hint: why Lopez says Ricki is not her real name) and she is the one who is actually using Lopez as bait meat to get closer to Affleck as to learn about him closely as well so that, in the end, they could leave Affleck to die under the control of Walken (who does, in the end murder Affleck.) I know, it sounds amazingly confusing - but the movie was supposed to be a much deeper, violent gangster thriller. The studios f#cked it up.
