Television director Peter O'Fallon made his feature film debut with this independent film that pays obvious homage to the style of Quentin Tarantino, with plenty of violence and funny, talkative hit men. Suave gangster Charlie Barrett (Christopher Walken) meets four young men who have taken over his regular booth at a popular bistro. Charmed by the swaggering kids, he agrees to take a ride with them, but they give him a sedative and he awakens in a deserted mansion, taped to a chair with one of his fingers missing. One of his abductors, Avery (Henry Thomas), says that he has a sister who has been kidnapped and they need two million dollars to get her back, as well as a finger to exchange for her severed digit. Charlie phones his lawyer Marty (Cliff De Young), who calls a henchman, Lono (Denis Leary), who investigates the kidnappings and gives Charlie enough information to start playing each of his inexperienced abductors against the others. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Christopher J.

I wish more people knew about this film. It keeps you guessing until the very end about who is deceiving who. I also found Denis Leary to be very sexy in a "tough guy with a conscience" role. Surprisingly funny as well and has some great quotable lines. My husband mentioned "fish boots" the other day and had me cracking up. Rent it--you'll love it!

Very good movie! solid cast with Walken in the middle acting stuck on a chair during most of the movie. It is like a hip Agatha Christie: one location, a crime retold,and a good clifhanger. Rent it! you will not regret it!

This was a truly good movie. It kept me guessing all along. It was unpredictable. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I always had the feeling things were going to go horribly out of control. I'll leave it up to those who haven't seen it yet to find out if they do or not. Great performances were delivered by all, especially Christopher Walken and Dennis Leary. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a seriosly entertaining film.
