The plot centres around a motley gang of mobsters with names like Jimmy the Saint, Pieces, Franchise, Easy Wind and Critical Bill, all who are trying to go straight but are doomed to be called back for one final job. Jimmy the Saint’s (Andy Garcia) “Afterlife Advice” business for terminally ill clients (where they can videotape future advice for their loved ones) is falling into a hole rapidly. Needing some finance Jimmy turns to his old boss The Man With The Plan (Christopher Walken) for help but in return he has to do a favour for The Man - “rough up” The Man’s son’s ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend! Jimmy calls in the old Gang and together they hatch an elaborate plan, a plan that ends up going horribly wrong. Stars Christopher Lloyd, William Forsythe, Bill Nunn, Treat Williams, Jack Warden, Steve Buscemi, Fairuza Balk.
