Get ready for an unusual comedy-drama with this unlikely
tale of one bank being robbed simultaneously by two very different sets of
criminals. From the high tech, to the low brow, two gangs of would be bank
robbers attempt to pull off a heist at the same time, and what happens after
they confront one another is likely to be anyone’s guess.
The low rednecks just want the ATM machines for some quick
money. With their tattoos and lack of any disguise, they are sure to be caught.
The other set of robbers are high tech; using computers to gain entry to the
vaults, where the real valuables are kept. They all have masks on and act
professionally, with careful co-ordination. That is, until everything goes
wrong. And I mean really wrong.
Are there two sets of bank robbers? Or are they really one
team of patsies being used by someone higher up to accomplish something else? Added
to the mix is a man, played by Patrick Dempsey, who tries to protect the teller,
played by Ashley Judd, with whom he's secretly in love. She is engaged to
someone very wealthy and is initially repulsed by this odd character inserting
herself into her life through an ordinary bank transaction. Or is it?
Twists and turns make this movie a very unusual, and highly
unbelievable, tale of love and larceny with a surprise ending. Great acting by
veteran character actors Tim Blake Nelson and Pruitt Taylor Vince as the
redneck bandits who call themselves “Peanut Butter” and “Jelly” because they go
together so well. A great script by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, along with careful direction
by Rob Minkoff, make this film work well as a comedy drama that you will enjoy
from the very opening scene until the last credits roll.
