When a bag filled with money goes missing from a casino, the Hitman (Chris O'Donnell) must retrieve it. While he tracks the stash down, the bag changes hands numerous times, finding its way to the Drifter (Jeremy Davies) and the Waitress (Rachael Leigh Cook), among others. As the bag's journey continues, more characters, including the Cop (Michael Rapaport) and the Sheriff (Keith David), get drawn into the winding crime tale, and the search becomes increasingly desperate.

So much average
Overrated and overhyped
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Follow the bag of money for an hour and a half. That's the extent of my spoiler.Great cast, put to decent use. Promising (and entertaining) for at least the first half-hour.Jeremy Davies, Rachel Leigh Cook, Michael Lerner, Russell Means, Chris O'Donnell, Keith David, Jon Polito, Bill Pullman, and Michael Rapaport.Severely padded out (with useless flashbacks) to 93 minutes. Should have been 15 minutes shorter. But then it wouldn't have been a feature-length film.Could have been a 6 (out of 10), but knee-capped itself to a 4.
I cannot exactly say that I hated it, nor can I say I loved it. I can see how some people think it is a complete mess, but as you watch it, it does sort of come together at the end. There seems to be a lot of holes in the plot. Somethings never really get answered, and if that is what the director and/or writer was going for, then they did their job. I found the individual performances pretty interesting, but as a whole they seemed all over the place. I kind of felt like the film should have been called Six Degrees of Devil's Casino.If you have an extra hour and thirty-three minutes to spare, it might be worth it to expand your movie selection and just check it out. I mean I have watched a lot of B rated films and I cannot say it was any worse than those. I agree with a lot of the people on here when they say the shots on location are actually what makes this film worth while. Since most of it is shot in the dessert, it makes for an interesting look.
This horrific attempt at originality in editing(all the worse for making it try and look as though there were some intent)and stabs at Tarantino-Mariachi-Lynch mixture comes out as tasteless, stupid, unfunny and pathetic garbage. The director is the mental offspring of the likes of Henry Jaglom and Dennis Hopper school of misdirection. It is loathsome in every way---one cannot spoil the blue of the skies. And to try and be so hip with the use of the Gremlin as one of the endless amount of cars and hiring Chris O'Donnell to play against type---CHRIS O'DONNELL? TYPE?...never to be used in the same sentence. Killing him off early wasn't soon enough..Gawd, he cannot act. And, to those performers who DO have some talent; are soooooo bad I was throwing things at the screen for them not having the gumption to know they were "being used for something evil". Please, please, NEVER let this man near a camera again!
OK... First of all... worst movie ever. I've had a better time with a toothacheNo character development....Guy gets into trouble, Girlfriend gets whacked.. Whole movie there are visuals of guy and girl happy and laughing on swingset or whatever. Whole movie is based upon him being upset about girlfriends death. 2 days timeframe into the movie guy screws other girl.... What the??? Ya! He really cared about her.... Acting sucked.... Personal low for some great names... Bill Pullman.. Chris O'Donnell... My man Michael Rappaport.... Keith David...Rachel Leigh Cook.... Ummm.. I guess the sequel to Josie & the Pussycats fell through huh??? Anyways.. independent or not..... This movie reeks!!! I could film a better movie in my basement. 1-800-Collect commercials with David Arquette have more merit!!! Don't even waste your time walking by it in the video storeTwo thumbs, Two Feet & Nose pointing Straight down!!!
