When a promised job for a Texan Michael fails to materialise in Wyoming, he is mistaken to be the hitman hired to kill an unfaithful wife.
Playful and highly artificial Neo Noir has its moments, especially when spiced with irony, and some great cinematography but hardly ever evokes a Noir feeling.
Halliwell*: "Enjoyable, blackly comic thriller with plenty of twists and turns."
Maltin***: "Rock-solid little thriller, crammed with twists, turns and suspense...Nothing that occurs is logical or probable, but the film is so good (and so funny) that you are willing to go along for the ride. Hopper aficiandos will savor his performance as "Lyle, from Dallas," the smarmiest of psychos, who is the real hit man."
