When Nick is offered a shady job that would pay enough for the couple to leave, he jumps at the opportunity, but things go wrong and Nick gets in trouble with the local drug dealer. Nick and Lissa then plan to scam the money they need from an old friend, Bryce (Brolin) but once again, things don't go as planned. A twisty neo-noir with plot turns galore. [More]

Reviews for Best Laid Plans
An enjoyable roller-coaster ride that stops short of reaching its destination.
A surprisingly underrated little thriller which should have helped Nivola earn his Hollywood stripes.
The attempt of this B-film to be a convincing film noir never materializes...
Barker and Griffin obviously had an intriguingly twisty course clearly mapped out for themselves. Alas, much like those mice and men...
