Nastassia Kinski (Paris, Texas) and Billy Zane (Titanic) lead an all-star cast in this outrageously dark comedy from John Landis (The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Trading Places, Coming To America). Divorced and seeking revenge, Susan (Kinski) recruits her lover/insurance agent Sam (Zane) to kill her ex-husband Paul (Adrian Paul, Highlander) so she can inherit his substantial life insurance policy. Not wanting to do the dirty deed himself, Sam calls Steve (Rob Schneider, Duece Bigalow: Male Gigolo) and Bill (Michael Biehn, The Rock), two losers who owe him a big favor. When Paul winds up in the hospital instead of the morgue, they enlist Bob (Dan Aykroyd), a bikerless biker who is more than willing to finish the job. Joining the conspiracy is Susan's hairdresser Betty (Lara Flynn Boyle, The Practice) who will sleep with anyone -- and everyone -- to ensure she gets her cut. With the police hot on their trail and Sam's ex-wife complicating matters even more, Susan's plan to get rich ends up being one of the most poorly executed crimes ever! (official distributor synopsis)
