Overview

Henry, an uptight businessman who sometimes acts with questionable ethics, nevertheless rejects Ron, a scam artist who wants a partner. Ron won’t let up and finds a lever to blackmail Henry, whose daughter Gina has killed a pedestrian in a hit-and-run car accident. To protect Gina, Henry disposes of Ron, but a murderous sociopath witnesses this crime. Henry and this stranger bond in an odd way, telling stories about their childhoods. Henry makes a deal with the stranger, helping to get rid of the body of one of the stranger’s victims. Will this act seal a bargain between the two men and get Henry off the hook, or will the stranger threaten Henry and Gina?

Viewing Notes

The kind of DTV crap that a film legend and a solid B-movie actor would take to pay the bills. Not terrible but looks like both were participating in a community college final project. Real talk: I’ll watch anything with these guys in it. I’m referring to Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen. Surprised that neither were top-billed.
