You know that any movie with Hopper and Cage in is going to be worth a watch, and is probably going to be a bit leftfield, too. This movie delivers on both counts. Maybe it would be farcical without a high-quality cast, including Lara Flyn-Boyle and J.T Walsh as husband and wife swindlers, but as it is it's believable. I don't really want to say too much, for fear of giving something away, but the basic premise is that Cage, a drifter, finds himself in Red Rock looking for work. The local barkeep/sheriff (Walsh), mistakes him for a killer he'd contracted to kill his wife (Boyle), pays him $5k and off Cage goes to do the job. Cage comes clean with the wife, who duly pays him a further $5k to kill her husband. That, my friends, is the simple bit! Things get more complicated when Hopper, the *real* killer, turns up. OK, that's enough information. It's a great movie - one of those little nuggets that haven't really passed into popular awareness. But it really is one that you need to be able to say you've seen.
