A bank customer is finishing his transaction at the end of the day when he finds himself caught in the middle of a robbery, by more than one thief. When one of the groups plans include locking down the bank for the night, and an FBI agent who happens to also be in the bank is killed, this becomes a cinematic version of Clue. The killer is in the bank, but who is it. Our customer (Patrick Dempsey as Tripp) is a bit of an eccentric/savant and spends the film solving the puzzle, with the help of an increasing line of deaths to narrow the suspect pool. The second thieves offer comic relief as a pair of hillbilly amateurs fishing in a pond that is too deep for them. By no means is this great film making, but it is a fun, lighthearted mystery theater style heist film. Reminds me a bit of a Pink Panther style crime thriller.
3 stars (out of 5)
