About this movie

In a gym bag. That's how three men (Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, Brent Briscoe) size up what they've found in the snowy Minnesota woods. They've come across a downed plane with a rotting corpse inside...and over $4 million stuffed inside a duffel bag. Finders, keepers? Maybe. But first they'll need a foolproof plan. So they and the wife (Bridget Fonda) of one of the men start out with a scheme that's perfect in its simplicity...and lethal in its miscalculation of the human heart.

While this movie gets filed under "the book is better", this isn't bad. Bill Paxton (dearly missed) shines in the lead role as the upstanding small town guy facing challenges to his predicament.

Great movie! in my law and ethics class, taught my the asst atty general art the time, he made us watch this in class and write a paper on which character we connected with and what we would do in the situation. I think I may need TY rewatch the movie to see if my answer has changed. ;) That was back in 2002-03. so I'm sure a lot has changed for me since then with life experiences.
