Synopsis
Just released from prison, all Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) wants is to start a new life with his beautiful Ashley (Charlize Theron), whom he met through pen pal letters in prison. But between them and happiness stands her crazy brother, Gabriel (Gary Sinise), and his motley crue of deadly criminals who think Rudy has some inside information about a casino where he once had a job and Gabriel and his gang want to take down. Now, just as Rudy is beginning his new life, he?s caught in a high-velocity avalance of temptations and surprises that could bury him, unless he can artfully dodge them.
