“Here is a crime movie that lifts you up and carries you along in an ominously rising tide of tension, building to an emotional payoff of amazing power.”
In tribute to Bill Paxton who died on 25 February one of the actor's very best films - and one where he takes centre stage.
Billy Bob Thornton (who co-wrote the film) is one of a pair pf drug dealers who flee Los Angeles and a crime scene of their making along with their beautiful accomplice Fantasia (Cynda Williams). The trio fetch up in small-town Arkansas where the local police chief (Paxton) soon finds his past catching up with him.
A hillbilly crime caper and classic slice of 90s pulp fiction. It’s also a rare chance to see Bill Paxton in full leading man mode.
