Directed by Philip J. Jones.
Bored with the slow business at his desert video store, Ray (Robert Patrick) takes off for a few days, but soon stops in his journey to pick up lovely hitchhiker, Harley (Jennifer Esposito). It takes the bashful Ray a while to discover Harley is an ex-convict returning to the desert to recover a cache of cash kept in a remote bank's safe deposit box. She insists her dead boyfriend stole it from a mobster. Gullible Ray, who is seeking a little adventure anyway, agrees to help her get the money out of the bank. What Harley doesn't tell him is that she's being chased by hit men for the very angry mobster (Colm Meaney) she stole the money from. However, in flashbacks, it's clear that little is as it seems. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

lost interest.
Director Philip J. Jones' emphasis on deliberate pacing and developing an arid atmosphere will put off genre fans looking for hardcore thrills; that's too bad, because Jones has done better than average by crafting an engaging story with noir-like overtones and gentle surprises that don't get in the way of convincing performances. Tough-guy Robert Patrick, cast against type as a desert-dwelling geek, does surprisingly well in a sympathetic role and Jennifer Esposito is sufficiently alluring without stooping to B-movie moll caricature. Thriller, crime, and drama audiences with patience will enjoy this bit of something different. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
