The directorial debut of
Kiefer Sutherland is part-Western, part-gangster flick in the style of
Quentin Tarantino. Raymond (
Vincent Gallo) is paroled from prison but decides to do one last robbery to get money to help him successfully woo his love Addy (
Kim Dickens). With fellow ex-con Curtis Freley (Sutherland) and his friend Marcus Weans (
Mykelti Williamson), who is really an undercover narcotics agent, Raymond botches a drug heist. Fleeing to Mexico, they pick up a pair of young yuppie lovers, Donna (Grace Phillips) and Gordon (Kevin Pollack), and hold them hostage for the ride. They change their getaway vehicle to Gordon's Winnebago mobile home. In Las Vegas, they try to sell stolen drugs to a mob kingpin, Tony Vega (
Rod Steiger). ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide
