File this one under vintage Matt Dillon - a crime drama that was a box office flop and recipient of many a bad review. I'm not sure why as I found it to be an engaging, fun bank robbery movie powered by two classic '80's actors, Dillon and McCarthy.
After robbing a bank, the pair accidentally get split up. McCarthy has the loot and stashes it in a bridge when a car accident happens and he lands up saving a drowning girl. This sets up a new life for him as it leads to a job on a farm, he's the new town hero, right? Meanwhile, Dillon as the heavy is, of course, trying to get a trace on him so he can get his half of the loot.
It may not have been executed in a way that audiences liked but this is a great story and script from Spencer Eastman who landed up passing away before the film's release.
Give this one a shot, it currently streams on Paramount+, Fubo and Amazon Prime.
3.0 stars/5
