Shawn (Blair) & Charlie (Beesley) come together under odd circumstances in a suicide-robbery gone bad. Charlie takes Shawn hostage after his robbery of her firm goes bad and she promises she'll help him get away as long as he'll kill her when the whole ordeal is over. Things only get stranger from there on. Will they die or won't they? With cops after both now and the prospect of death on both their doors. Both begin to learn things about one another which shows the better days of both and makes you realize how the characters are both generally good people in a really bad point in their lives. By chance they become dependent of one another without knowing it, missing each other when they're apart and willing to give it all up for love.
This movie is great. I saw it by chance and after one viewing it became my favorite movie. If you like dark comedy, romantic lipbiters or movies that catch you by surprise, you have to see this. SEE IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Shawn Holloway (Selma Blair) is having a bad day. Well.... a bad life. She's dating a man who is married; her boss no less. He isn't leaving his wife and she's contemplating suicide. Well. Today, she's decided to do it. The bank where she works is robbed, the lead assailant (Charlie Anders played wonderfully by Max Beesley) takes her hostage, and she helps him escape. And the story takes off from there.
With supporting players such as Brendan Fehr (the kid in the robbery scheme who almost blows it all for "love"), and Agents McGinley (the older, experienced quippy agent) and Reed (who has a "weird thing" for knowing about Scuicide Psychology...) it's no wonder the movie is all around good.
Good Acting. Good music. Good editing. Complex thinking. It's somehow relatable on an obscure level. And through it all, the characters are (well, tend to be) good people, which makes the watcher smile at all the subtle glances and glimpses of them. You get to see the reasons for their actions, and how they are so easily justified by the situation (or not as the case may be). It's a great movie; I can't say enough good about it.
Please buy it. Or try the movie channels; I see it on alot there. I'm sure you won't regret it.
