After spending more than five years in prison, Harry Talbot (Michael Madsen) plays poker with his comrades and wins a large amount and a Lincoln. However Harry does not know that his buddies have dumped a body in the trunk of the car. Meanwhile, a young woman called Kit Califano (Patricia Arquette) is trying to revenge her father killing the mafia kingpin Santino (Seymour Cassel) that killed him. Kit is the granddaughter of the also mafia kingpin Grandma Martucci (Florence Stanley) that sends her henchmen to bring her back home. When Harry meets Kit in a bar, she escapes from the men and he gives a ride to her. Meanwhile Harry's buddies discover that the key that they need to open a safe with money is with the corpse and they hunt him down while the mobsters seek Kit out to accomplish Grandma's order. The hunting begins while Harry and Kit want to get rid of the body,
"Trouble Bound" is a highly entertaining action-comedy with a funny story. Michael Madsen is in the top of his career and the lovely Patricia Arquette is sweet and gorgeous. The corpse steals the show and might have been the inspiration for the 1989 Weekend at Bernie's. My vote is seven.
