Plot Summary

He has a firm handshake, a ready smile, and some strange ideas about friendship. His name is Lester Long and when the bodies start piling up he generously decides to share the blame. Now the F.B.I. has got the whole town under observation, and Lester has put his new friend Clay over a barrel. The only way for Clay to set things straight is to beat one twisted individual at his own game of deceit and double-crossing.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: A film that delights by confounding expectations. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Oct 4, 2009

Rotten: Slanted as a black comedy, but fails to secure the sufficiently outre tone (let alone any real suspense) needed to make it more than a middling retread. – Dennis Harvey, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: It's got unpredictable plot twists and unexpected laughs coming out of dark corners. – Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle, Oct 4, 2009

Fresh: This quirky comedy thriller, produced by Ridley Scott, is both blackly funny and, at times, tensely disturbing and quite macabre. – Derek Adams, Time Out, Oct 4, 2009

Deserves more attention

by JustAnotherFilmGeek

A fun and twisted black comedy/thriller that's been unjustly overlooked.

Definitely overlooked.

by Wendy1026

I've loved this movie since the first time I saw it, and have watched it more times than I can count! It's funny and disturbing at the same time. Vince Vaughn is much more disturbing in this movie than any others I've seen him in, and Janeane Garofalo is hysterical in her understated way. Phil Morris, Janeane Garofalo's FBI agent partner, while having barely any lines in the movie, is a wonderful actor in this picture. His facial expressions are far better than having him recite lines that Garofalo does perfectly on her own. And Vince Vieluf, as a sheriff's deputy named Barney, is hysterical. See this movie!!!!!
