One of the most exciting and compelling films to emerge from Cannes, "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" boasts a superb cast and a stellar script.
The film follows reformed gangster Jimmy the Saint (Andy Garcia), whose quiet life in Denver is disrupted when his ex-boss (a craftily impressive Christopher Walken) comes calling with a job. To carry out the hit, Jimmy collects other former hoods with names like Critical Bill (Treat Williams) and Pieces (Christopher Lloyd). When the job goes awry they find a lightning-quick killer (brilliantly played by Steve Buscemi) on their tail; to complicate matters further Jimmy is in love with a trusting young woman (Gabrielle Anwar).
