This delicious black comedy stars Nastassja Kinski as Susan Holland, a vengeful divorcée who plots to kill her ex-husband, Paul (Adrian Paul), when she learns of his sizable life insurance policy. She asks her lover, Sam (Billy Zane), to help, and he in turn hires two losers to do the job. Steve (Rob Schneider) and Bill (Michael Biehn) bungle the job and land the unsuspecting Paul in the hospital. Since the two hapless would-be killers are unable to complete the task, they hire a biker with a bad attitude (Dan Aykroyd) to finish the job. As the conspiracy thickens, more and more people want in on the murderous plot. Lara Flynn Boyle costars as Betty, a vicious tramp who joins in on the fun, as well as Sam's ex-wife, Penny (Lisa Edelstein), who also becomes part of the motley mob of would-be killers. As the money-grubbing plot unravels, the LAPD is in hot pursit of the band of greedy schemers, leading to extreme mayhem and disaster in this murderous caper. [More]
