After 13 years in prison AJ (Paul Levesque) is released. His best friend Jack (Michael Rapaport) is there to greet him. Jack is now married to AJ's former gf (Parker Posey). Jack is still involved in the crime scene, while AJ has renounced his life of crime and wants to make pickles. Jack's father, a veterinarian, runs small time crime, buying and selling untaxed cigarettes to convenience stores in Louisiana. He wants AJ to work for him because his son Jack is unreliable.
Jack is a very irritating character. He has an overly simplistic view of oriental philosophy of cause and effect which he feels he must vocalize, giving us a theme for the movie. The Louisiana ATF is on to the operation. AJ who wants to go straight becomes an accessory to Jack's mishaps. The action takes place in Louisiana with the characters all being local. In spite of that, Parker Posey is the only one who has an accent.
The movie has predictable twists and some unpredictable ones. I think for HHH fans, it was a gallant effort. For those who like fast paced action films, you need to look elsewhere.
