Thriller Nick (Alessandro Nivola) is caught in a dead end job in a dead end town. About the only thing going well for him is Lissa (Reese Witherspoon), his new girlfriend. A chance to make some easy cash, and a way out of town, only leads to more trouble. Also caught in the web of sex, thefts, gangsters, kidnappings and murder is Nick's college friend, Bryce (Josh Brolin).

United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A mixed bag of striking visual style and overbearingly poisonous plotting (...) Visually ambitious but exasperatingly written, it's the kind of thriller in which style overwhelms substance by default."	POS
United States	Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"Tense and intriguing. Terrific performances"	POS
