646f9e108c Slick-talking Bob and Sid run a bankrupt used-car lot. They used to work for Danny Woo, whose lot next door is the most successful one in Needles. Danny's still their friend, and what with his sick wife, Bob and Sid agree to cover for him during an IRS investigation into his finances. Meanwhile, a series of murders and an FBI investigation focus on a Pontiac convertible with a mysterious cargo originating in the Andes. Bob and Sid's shady supplier offers them $250,000 to stash the car on their lot for a couple days; Bob's reluctant, but Sid sees thistheir ticket out. They say yes, then try to run a double cross on the Pontiac's mysterious and ruthless owner. A Cherry Pontiac Lemans Convertible…Two Days…Two-Hundred & Fifty Grand. When your lemon lot hits the skids you glom the gig no matter what the smell. For Bob and Sid, two slicked-back burnouts, bum luck runs in spades. With a goose-egg for cash flow and a fore-closure falling fast, they take the gig. The Upside: Fat Cash…The Flipside…Every Thug, Crook, Punk and Mercenary on the planet looking to get rich. Great movie. Flat out excellent. I can't believe it was done for only $8,000. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. This could have been a good film if it had a good director and someone to edit the script. Writer-director Joe Carnahan is a little too enamored with his Tarantino-like dialogue, a little goes a long way. Some of the acting is good, I like Carnahan and Dan HarlanDanny Woo, but other times it is painfully low-budget. I give the film-makers credit for coming up with some visually interesting ways of filming the violent shoot-outs. Overall, the good bits are just a little too few and far between to make this really enjoyable.
