A Screenplay Made With the Intention of Being Cult Movie
In a penitentiary, the forger Trevor Allen Finch (Christin Slater) organizes the escape of his friend and former magician Micah Donnelly (Richard Dreyfuss). Twenty years ago, Micah stole a fortune in diamonds and has promised one million dollars to Trevor if he is succeed in the plan. In the end, they escape together, they meet Micah's daughter Tess Donnelly (Portia de Rossi) and Trevor achieves with a friend of him new identities for both of them. The new identity of Trevor is Cletis Tout, a reporter executed by Mafia, who witnessed the murder of a hooker by the mobster Rowdy Virago (Joseph Scoren). The Mafia believes Cletis is alive and hires Critical Jim (Tim Allen), a hitman who loves old movies, to kill Cletis. While waiting for his payment, Jim decides to listen to the saga of Trevor, comparing it with the screenplay of a film. This non-linear script is certainly made with the intention of being a cult movie. With many citations of important movies, and funny and nice characters, it is impossible not to like this story, which is a kind of popcorn Pulp Fiction without explicit violence. A good entertainment and a great surprise for me. My vote is seven.
