Plot: Following a small car accident, two brothers and their pal find a bag loaded with cash. They suspect it is lost drug money and instead of reporting their find, they take home the bag. It doesn't take long before the three start distrusting each other and what started as a lucky coincidence quickly spirals out of control.

3.0*/5.0*

One of those films I liked from before I got serious about cinema. I remember liking the tone and the dark comedy elements, but almost two decades later they're hardly worth mentioning. It's still a decently funny film, but the direction is too plain and the two-hour runtime is a bit of a puzzle.

Thornton is fun (Paxton isn't), the plot has some funny moments and the snowy setting is like a separate character, but it's all rather predictable and the presentation is dim and unremarkable. This could still be fun in the form of a Du Welz remake, but in the hands of Raimi, it fails to stand out.
