Ethan Tell (Milo Ventimiglia) is a small time crook who listens to his wife (Katee Sackhoff) too much. He is married into an untrustworthy family who have no trouble selling each other out. Ethan gets involved in a bank robbery, gets shot, hides the money, goes to jail and gets out. Everyone want to know what happened to the money and do what they can to get him to give up the information.The film is done in a quirky grindhouse style. It has a number of twists and seems to throw them in there just for the sake of doing so. It has good characters, including an unorthodox parole officer (Faizon Love) who also wants to know where the money is at.This makes for a enjoyable grindhouse style rental.Guide: F-bomb. Sex. No nudity. Some blood, killing, etc.

This had to have been one of the most awful movies I have seen in my life. I have seen quite a few stinkers, believe me, but this movie takes the cake. The writing was incredibly weak (the dialogue being especially unrealistic), the direction was sloppy, and the acting (considering there were a few decent B actors) was not good at all. No wonder Orion distributed this flop - they seem to like bankruptcy which is where they are headed again if they keep putting out turds like this.After pulling off a one million dollar heist, small-time criminal (Milo Ventimiglia) runs into problems with his wife (Katee Sackhoff), his former partner, and his parole officer, and a couple cops all plotting against him. I honestly do not know how some of these actors can bare the embarrassment of being cast in this. It seems that they were trying maybe a little too hard to be witty with humorless one-liners. I just really can't go on about this poor mess. Refund please!

My boyfriend and I sat down to watch this and turned it off after the first twenty minutes because it was so stupid, Then we decided to give it a chance and continued watching. Big mistake! Whoever made this rubbish was obviously trying to do their best Guy Ritchie rip-off, however, they failed miserably. There's no stars in this so that should have been our first red flag. The lead actor in this is from the series Heroes and in all fairness, both my boyfriend and I liked him in Heroes. But in this role, we didn't believe him in the role one bit. In fact, many of the roles seemed miscast. The filmmakers were so obviously trying to copy films like Snatch and other Ritchie works that we were surprised the actors weren't speaking with Brit accents. The only positive thing that I can say about this film was I liked one of the songs. But one good song does not make a movie watchable. Avoid this one at all costs.

A petty criminal (Tell) steals some money from his bungling brother and their gang of bank robbers. His wife is furious that he leads the cops back to their home and promptly shoots him, wounding him severely. Tell manages to hide the money. The film looks on as various people all try to get that money from him.This movie has an excellent cast with every role having an actor you will recognize from TV or film. The performances are uniformly good and it is well shot. It just seems to be lacking something. It feels like a movie from the 1990s. The humor has a light touch and the action is well handled. Worth a watch but with that cast it could have been so much better.
