Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead

THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD

One of the most exciting and compelling films to emerge from Carines, "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).
