Bag Man, The

In The Bag Man, Jack (Cusack), a low-rent thug, thinks he's hit the jackpot when legendary crime boss Dragna (De Niro) gives him a simple assignment: pick up a package and deliver it—don't open it, and don't ask questions. But over the course of a long and increasingly violent night waiting in a seedy motel, the bag attracts the attention of a slew of shady characters-including femme fatale Rivka (Da Costa), the sleazy motel manager (Glover), a one-eyed gangster (Fingaz), an undersized hit man (Klebba), and a crooked cop (Purcell). As Jack awaits the arrival of Dragna, each of them will make a play for the package's unknown contents and Jack will do whatever it takes to hang on to his precious cargo. Based on the original screenplay Motel by James Russo. (Gary Reber)
