This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
It was written and directed by John Dahl. He's also responsible for KILL ME AGAIN, THE LAST SEDUCTION, and JOY RIDE.
A man by the name of Michael (Nicolas Cage) is looking for work and gets mistaken for a killer for hire named Lyle (Dennis Hooper).
The man that hires Michael is a bartender named Wayne (J. T. Walsh). Surprise, Wayne is also the Sheriff!
The Sheriff wants Michael to murder is wife Suzanne (Lara Flynn Boyle). When he shows up to their house, Michael tells Suzanne, what her loving husband has planned for her.
Soon after, the shit starts hitting the fan.
The sheriff's co-workers start getting suspicious of his behavior.
Meanwhile, the real killer for hire, becomes more irate with every passing minute.
There's dark humor. Plus, the love triangle that never was, falls apart quickly.
Dwight Yoakam has a small role as a truck driver, his character drives an Isuzu N series.
Watch the movie!
