This gritty, insidiously funny heist film stars Robert Patrick as Ray, a loser video store clerk barely getting by and hoping a better will fall into his lap. On a road trip to escape his problems, he picks up a sexy hitchhiker named Harley (Esposito), whom Ray is quickly smitten with. However, his life changes when she reveals that she has stolen two million dollars, but needs someone to help smuggle it out of the country. Unfortunately, Ray gets in way over his head before the FBI gets involved and he begins to suspect that Harley isn't who she appears. [More]

  • Backflash
  • Jennifer Esposito (DON'T SAY A WORLD, DRACULA 2000) and Robert Patrick (TV's THE X-FILES, SPY KIDS) star in this suspenseful thriller about one woman's cunning plot to pull off the biggest heist of her life ... and how nothing goes as planned! While on a mission to reclaim the stash of money she stole from a high-ranking gangster, tough ex-con Harley (Esposito) decides that mild-mannered Roy (Patrick) will be the perfect patsy to reel into her dangerous scheme. But as they run from the mob and head for the border, Roy and Harley discover that sometimes the one you trust the most should never be trusted at all! Also starring Melissa Joan Hart (TV's SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH) and Colm Meaney (MYSTERY, ALASKA), BACKFLASH is an exciting ride through a deadly underworld!
