Storyline

While working for the mob, Bill "The Mouth" Mannuci, stole twelve million dollars from them, and turned over information to the F.B.I. about the man, from whom he stole the money, the mysterious "Skipper". Now, four of the "Skipper's" men have tracked down Bill to his new house in a small country town. Bill has been warned of this, and sends his wife Debra away. Captured by the "Skipper's" men, Bill is forced at gunpoint to take them to the missing twelve million dollars. But as they make their way to the money, Bill escapes, and the "Skipper's" men end up chasing him into a backwoods crystal meth lab, where a gunbattle ensues, after one of the "Skipper's" men opens fire. As Bill makes his escape, the lab burns to the ground, incurring the wrath of the labs owner, who is owed money by Bill. Soon, Bill finds himself being chased by not only the "Skipper's" men, but by the crystal meth lab owner and his men, and how does the Sheriff of the town fit into the equation?

User Reviews

An action/comedy no-brainer for audiences with no brains.

"Made Men" is the kind of flick where the shoot-outs expend more ammunition than the shooters could carry. It's the kind of flick where an auto gas tank explodes like a case of dynamite, not 10 gallons of gasoline. It's the kind of flick where a Brit plays a red-neck sheriff with both accents prevalent in his speech. It's the kind of flick where a guy pulls a gun which hasn't been fired and there's smoke coming from the muzzle. It's the kind of flick you'll want to miss unless you're 14 and male.
