Jackie Powers is a nice guy but a lousy hit man, and when he’s sent to take out a crafty debtor, Jackie only pisses him off. Fleeing the scene, Jackie takes bored waitress Lola as a hostage. When Jackie reveals he needs money to get his son out of jail, Lola cooks up a scheme for them to get cash from her dying mother. Meanwhile, a thug sent to kill him is sleeping with Jackie’s ex.

What to do in Oklahoma when one doesn't live there... The Swabian gangsters from American backwaters can be visually appealing, in a way stylish, but here it becomes clear that they struggle to work with characters and the potential of their actors. Take, for example, the Brooklyn pizza man Frank Grillo, who clearly spends as many minutes in the gym daily as he uses the word "fuck" here, or Simmons, who got on his face what he will never have on his head again for the role. By the way, Scott Caan is not only resembling his father but also starting to "transform" into him through his acting.
