 “[points gun at Michael’s head] Does that tickle? ‘Cause it won’t if I pull the trigger! What the hell are you doing on my truck? ” – Truck Driver

Number of Times Seen – 2  (video in 1995 and 11 Sep 2014)

Brief Synopsis –A drifter ends up in a small town and accidentally gets involved with a murder for hire scheme.

My Take on it – I remembered this being an interesting movie and with a cast like Nicholas Cage, Dennis Hopper, Lara Flynn Boyle and JT Walsh, I expected my memory to serve me well and that I’d enjoy it once again.

Unfortunately it didn’t because this is just a typical mistaken identity movie which doesnt really have anything unique to make it rise above its mediocre storyline.

There are a few interesting twists, but they dont help make this movie any better.

Bottom Line – Pretty standard mistaken identity movie. Nothing special happening here besides a few interesting twists.

Rating – BAFTA Worthy
