Morality tale of greed and betrayal that impacts three friends that find a cache of money and decide not to tell the police. Of course things go wrong. Very wrong.
Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton are solid as two brothers conflicted by their own greed which threatens their loyalty. The standout is Bridget Fonda as Paxton’s comely but calculating wife.
The direction by Sam Raimi is very good. The tension just keeps piling up for these characters and forces them to make terrible decisions. Danny Elfman’s score is excellent at setting the mood.
