What seemed like a quick and easy weekend kidnap job -- for Mel (Mark Wahlberg), a beleaguered hitman, and his professional associates, Cisco (Lou Diamond Phillips), Crunch (Bokeem Woodbine), Vince (Antonio Sabato, Jr.) and Gurnp (Robin Dunne) -- backfires when their victim, a rich industrialists daughter named Keiko (China Chow), turns out to be the godchild of their boss, Paris (Avery Brooks). When Cisco, the mastermind of the plan, betrays Paris, Mel becomes a wanted man. Meanwhile, as if h
is weekend wasnt going badly enough, Mels mistress, Chantel (Lela Rochon), absconds with his earnings just as his fiancee Pams (Christina Applegate) disapproving parents (Elliott Gould and Lainie Kazan) arrive for a visit. As his professional and domestic woes collide, Mel finds himself dodging bullets while trying to impress his potential in-laws. Throw in an overzealous video store clerk demanding the return of an overdue tape, and its not long before Mels carefully constructed life starts to unravel. |
