Storyline

In this darkly karmic vision of Arizona, a man who breathes nothing but ill will begins a noxious domino effect as quickly as an uncontrollable virus kills. As he exits Arizona State Penn after twenty-one long years, Wilson has only one thing on the brain, leveling the score with career criminal, Mackey Willis. As eccentric and intuitive as he is vicious, Mackey's own perfected criminal game will play right into the path Wilson has set for him. With the help of a prison bus driver, Lee Marvin, Wilson acts as a catalyst, putting a plan into action that will bring an untimely end to Mackey Willis. The problem is, no plan is perfect. Meanwhile, an aimless bunch of Arizona twenty-nothings are cooking up a heist that will lead them to the same bank, with different intentions. Skilled at nothing beyond drinking, doing drugs and attending strip clubs, their plan is destined for immediate failure. Heavily armed, without a single identifiable clue, these boys are as blind as they are impulsive...

User Reviews

some kid gets his buddies to help him rob a bank

This is a good independent movie. It has an ensemble cast of young actors paired with some actors who have a combined acting experience of 100 years. I love seeing Rober Forster, and Richard Roundtree is a really good actor he just gets a lot of crappy work. He is real good in this movie playing a reformed criminal. The music is good and it is a interesting story.I might have given this movie a higher rating but one of the younger actors bothered me and I had some question still at the end. Thatbeing said I enjoyed the film and would recommend it to people. If the director needs an idea for his next movie he should make one about how the Boston Red Sox mopped up the Yankees then went on to win the world series in 04, I will bet that that movie would win an Oscar. Derek Jeter, A-Rod, Stupid Jason Giambi suck. Go Sox's and we will be bringing home another championship!
