Brad Renfro performs admirably in this strange story involving suicide, murder, and gangsters, and Susan Sarandon also has a worthwhile role. He portrays “Mark,” who, while playing with his brother near their home, comes across a man attempting to end his life by filling the exhaust of his car with gas. After being noticed, Mark fears he might share the same fate, but when the man dies by shooting himself, the young boy manages to get away—only to discover that his brother is in a state of shock. Following this, he’s taken to a hospital where neither the medical staff nor the constant presence of the FBI are willing to accept his account, particularly given the possible connection to a missing US Senator. Fortunately for Mark, he enlists the help of “Reggie” (Sarandon), who informs the rather indifferent agent “Roy” (Tommy Lee Jones) that her young client deserves legal protections like anyone else—even though she suspects the boy might be exaggerating what happened. It’s revealed that the deceased was a lawyer with connections to a local crime boss, and they are equally determined to ensure the boy doesn't reveal anything he may know. The situation quickly becomes dangerous for this young man and his family as federal agents grow increasingly annoyed with him—so who can he trust? The film is directed with considerable energy and maintains a brisk pace as one precarious circumstance follows another, numerous pizzas appear, and the mortuary’s walk-in freezer unexpectedly proves useful. While the ending feels somewhat hurried, it functions adequately as a conventional chase thriller.
