Watty Watts (Gil Bellows) and Starlene Cheatham (Renée Zellweger) are petty criminals and star-crossed lovers in Texas. He owes money to mobsters. His unstable friend Billy Mack Black (Rory Cochrane) has intel on $10k in a store safe. Watty considers himself a happy criminal. He ensures that his armed robberies are done with unloaded guns. Billy lies to Watty and keeps his gun loaded. The robbery goes badly and Billy kills the clerk. Billy deteriorates and Watty leaves him. Watty and Starlene intend to make a run for Mexico.
This is a lesser Natural Born Killers or Tarantino. Rory Cochrane would fit comfortably in those other movies. Zellweger is in her peek young hotness. Gil Bellows still has some leading man sensibilities. The actors are capable. The writing and directing is nowhere near that top level but there are bits and pieces of interesting stuff. It has some fun.
