Route 9

The story is quite interesting. It shows how people can behave in ways they didn't know they were capable of, when they find themselves in strange situations. It's not too predictable and the movie has a nice, sometimes melancholic feeling. All the actors are good, especially Kyle MacLachlan, Wade Williams and Roma Maffia.

I recommend you to see this movie, especially if you liked "A Simple Plan". It's a good, suspenseful thriller.

Two small time country sheriffs stumble across a crime scene with a lot of dead bodies and a suitcase full of cash. Then they start making mistakes.Greed gets the better of them (and their friends) as the story keeps twisting tighter and tighter. Meanwhile, bodies keep pileing up and the hole they dig gets deeper and deeper.The only question that remains in this well made little film is who will make it out alive.


Quite Good; Similar to "Simple Plan" & "Blood Simple"   November 25, 2002

Dashielle Hammett came up with the original idea that once people committed to murder, their thinking became simple and so they made error after error leading to their own destruction. It was the letting of the blood that converted them into morons. This film runs with that premise as did "Simple Plan" and "Blood Simple". Two deputy sheriffs come across a crime scene that seems too good to be true and within fifteen minutes they become thieves and murderers. From that original activity, all hell proceeds to break loose. This film also has a good natured sense of humor about it and you will find yourself at times laughing at the two leads and their descent into criminality. Well done. We enjoyed it a lot.
