I could have sworn this movie was made years before 'Fargo' and 'A simple plan', but oh. But somehow I like this one anyway, even if it isn't very original or challenging. I like the characters and their petty - but genuine - ways, the moments of dark humour, and even the injections of action scenes just to spice things up.
My favorite role is the one of Earl by Wade Williams; a simple-minded log with a good sense of humour, but just not enough brains to pull this one off. Kyle MacLachlan is a good second, being the good-hearted Booth who might have made it big as an inventor - no really. And Amy Locane is the worthy third; playing the typical blonde Sally who, for a change, turns out to be not that typical at all, in my opinion - or at least she comes off quite sympathetic.
No long story or deep analysis required - it's just that bag of money taken and the things that must come of it; 7 out of 10.
