Kolko (Salma Hayek), a Private Detective, is soon on his tail, but when she meets Kresk the two fall helplessly in love, adding further intrigue to the plot. Cameo appearances come thick and fast throughout the film, with Swedish director Traktor drawing on the many talents of Jeff Goldblum, David Cross (MR. SHOW), Elijah Wood, David Hyde Pierce (FRASIER), and Lara Flynn Boyle (TWIN PEAKS). A little-known treat, CHAIN OF FOOLS is a screwball comedy that easily holds in own alongside the all-time greats of the genre. [More]
