An unlucky killer tries in vain to separate the "business approach" and his personal attitude to a specific "profession". An existential crisis, the same type of everyday life that follows one after another seem to have turned into a single whole. The hero either jokes with himself, or is tossed about in his thoughts and visits to a psychotherapist, ultimately deciding to go on his last case, which should put an end to all the accumulated questions, but which, as is customary according to the law of the genre, will not go according to plan and turn everything upside down, in which the heroine Sherilyn Fenn will play an important role, together with whom the main, rather chamber action will mainly unfold.
In the course of events, he will be accompanied by several people, among whom we can separately note: a somewhat unlucky adventurer, who for rather vague reasons considers him his friend, an unprincipled employer of the old school, a somewhat silly, however equally murky, episodic character of Jace Belushi, as well as Sharon Stone, a friend of the previously mentioned heroine, who sneaks in for a couple of minutes in a role not very typical for her.
The plot of this not very well-known film in many ways echoes the later "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999). A black protagonist, off-screen thoughts out loud, like a stream of consciousness, disagreements with an old employer, deserted streets. The main difference lies in the atmosphere and context. If Jarmusch's work had a certain conditionally philosophical message and a rather melancholic presentation, then here we have a work, despite its inherent specific subject matter, which does not pretend to be any serious presentation in general. Actually, due to this fact, although it does not completely cancel out the local atmosphere, this film objectively does not pretend to be anything more than just a moderately good thriller.
