The nature of temptation. Banks is a hit man, the best, usually working for Latin American drug cartels. He picks up solitary women, uses them briefly for a job, then kills them. He's in the Southwest...( read more  read more... ), headed toward Mexico, when he picks up Bennie, a woman leaving an abusive marriage, going to Paradise, Arizona. The film follows three tracks: Banks's slow recruitment of Bennie, the set-up for the hit at a swank resort in Mexico, and the FBI's close pursuit of Banks, whom they want alive in hopes he'll rat out his bosses. Bennie may not be who she seems, and there may be a chink in Banks's tough-guy armor. Guns, money, and a chance at Paradise.

    This was a good weee movie. Sutherland was great as mild-mannered hit man Arthur Banks, trying to do his latest job, when he comes across Bennie, who's running from her husband.
    Not to go into detail, the plot was good, kinda weird and I loved the patter, too lol:P

    The writing and acting is just horrible. The plot has potential but it fell onto the lines of being predicatble. The constant flashbacks are unneccesary and do nothing but ruin the 'suspense.'
