Watching a very bad movie would be a more appropriate title for this flick. It guess it had potential the first five minutes or so. Cole Hauser is Russ Potter, a stock broker who has given many of the small town residents bad advice regarding a potential corporate merger, causing them to lose money. Even the sheriff, Morgan Freeman, is mad at him but he finds some comfort in the local waitress who happens to be his next door neighbor Delaine played by Jaimie Alexander. Russ gets a series of threatening phone calls...only to have Delaine's father get murdered. It's suggested that Russ was the real target but we quickly learn that it was in fact a scheme cooked up by Delaine, using the dimwitted fry cook Lucius to kill her father in order to collect the insurance money. Of course, Lucius himself owes $5,000 to another shady character who has a penchant for cutting off digits, which causes Delaine to poison him, only to get them after her....meanwhile Morgan Freeman, like any wise and crusty ole sheriff, invites Russ over for a steak dinner just to let him know that he's figured out Lucius is the killer and Delaine is involved....only for Russ to kill him (leaving his DNA all over the dishes) because he already overheard Delaine and Lucius talking....
It just gets dumber from there. Delaine kills Russ after he runs her off the road, and then drives home in his car, but then Russ's Secretary blackmails her.
She tells the toe cutters who go to kill the Secretary, but they turn the tables and kill them. Then she gets back in to Russ's car, and runs the Secretary off the road. Finally, After taking to the secretary's husband, The deputy shows up and puts an end to our misery, by arresting Delaine. Roll Credits. Now, if they somehow tried to make this a black comedy it might have worked, but they didn't. After planning out that original crime, there was no sense that the characters were even trying not to get caught or get away with their scheme...they just randomly starting killing people.
I wouldn't recommend wasting time on this movie.
