The film takes place in 1975 New England. Note the era whack-a-da sound track when they are running. Bobby (Jack Davenport) sells insurance policies and is at the bottom of his game. He is introduced to Vincent (Hugo Weaving) a man of means and culture. Vincent entices Bobby with the desire to buy an illegal policy, i.e. a Key Man policy where the Key Man refuses to be part of the deal.
The jazz sound track made the film seem better than what it was. The drama was a bunch of talking and hand shaking and then at the end, the film changes gears rather inanely. His wife (Judy Greer) was never developed. He explains the whole thing to her in one line, "I did something stupid" because apparently he didn't think she could understand what he did. Bobby was a spineless individual who was our new criminal protagonist pitted against an old criminal antagonist. Just not exciting for me.
The film didn't go anywhere for 2/3 of the film.
Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
