In the thriller based on the Elmore Leonard novel, Carmen Colson (Diana Lane) and her blue-collar husband Wayne (Thomas Jane) become the targets of two killers after they stumbled upon an extortion plot hatched by the bad guys. Carmen saw the scam and now she and Wayne will have to pay. Blackbird (Rourke) kills smart and deadly, while Richie kills stupid and crazy, both are out to erase any living evidence. Ultimately, it all comes down to one wife, one husband, two killers and one lethal killshot.
What I really hated: Turning an Elmore Leonard novel into a tedious movie
Mostly tedious and rote, although Mickey Rourke is appropriately mysterious and Diane Lane delivers. Thomas Jane comes off pretty badly, as does the usually dependable Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a thanklessly annoying role. Honestly, even though this was short, I kept hoping it'd end.
