Description:
The late 1950's. Eisenhower was president. Elvis was King. And in Caledonia, Wisconsin, the only action in town was the kind you cooked up. One lazy fall day, David, Tim and Joe, three high school buddies, decide to stage a gangland-style shooting in front of the local bank. But little do they know their prank is about to send them on a dramatic collision course with Rusty (Mickey Rourke, 9 1/2 Weeks) and Leon (Stephen Baldwin, Posse), two cold-blooded criminals who are planning a robbery with the help of Patty (Sheryl Lee, Twin Peaks), the bank's loan officer. In a case of mistaken identity, Leon is accidentally abducted by David and Joe, while Tim falls into the murderous hands of Rusty who forces him to carry out the bank heist, leading to a tense, action-packed conclusion filled with twists, turns and bad intentions.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of the worst movies ever made
One reviewer gave it five stars because its a "gay movie." If you consider that a redeeming quality, then that's the ONLY redeeming quality. I found NOTHING about the movie to be redeeming, interesting or entertaining. Its one of those plots where you keep staring, thinking that something big or interesting is going to happen. It never does. The movie is creepy, the dialog is stilted, the story line is disjointed, the plot is weak the cinematography is amateurish. Its just a collection of odd ... Read More
Rating:  - Oh, would that Mickey could stop wooing me
No. Just no. Don't rent this. OK. A little something. It makes a lot of noise that adds nothing to the plot. Sheryl Lee (probably spelled that wrong) apparently has been scrabbling for a paycheck ever since Twin Peaks and it depresses me to see her act at all since that effort. There's a few other "never rans" in this that seem to really be trying but all for nought. I think Mickey Rourke is usually interesting, even in bad movies and he was in this one, too. But that's about all the good I can say ... Read More
Rating: - This is really misguided.
I have seldom seen such a bad movie with so much talent. (David Arquette, Stephen Baldwin, Mickey Rourke, etc.) One wonders what they saw in potential for this script or why they made choices to be involved.
This horribly misguided film centers around a juvenile prank gone awry that ends up involving two bank-robbers who freak and there is enough gratuitous violence and mindless killing (and torture) to last me for the rest of my life. The film starts out terribly boring and gets more ... Read More
Rating: - Ed Wood eat your heart out.
I love movies. I hate this one.
Every melodramatic gimmick known to 1970s TV movies is packed in tight.
My favorite one is when one of the kids gets free long enough to pick up the gun, but is just too emotional to shoot his captor. The captor is yelling "Shoot me! Come on!" But he just can't. He's too busy hamming up the whimpering. Like the damsel running from the slow-moving monster and then she breaks a heel. Wouldn't ya know!
If you liked Mickey Rourke in "Diner" ... Read More
Rating:  - Different type of movie for this genre
I just saw this movie and I was very impressed by the genre of bank robbers. I was very happy on one hand that the movie took a "gay theme" swing and it was a movie that didn't involve AIDS and people dying. On the other hand it took a negative swing because it didn't give a very good portrayal of gay relationships either. To be honest here, if it had been a "straight" couple with the relationship being the way that it was portrayed, I would not have thought anything about it. I would have thought that it ... Read More
