Movie Description OUT IN FIFTY: Although packaged as an action-thriller, this is really a very peculiar psychodrama with whacked-out West Coast characters and ambiance. Good-hearted Mississippi boy Ray Frye (Leet) accidentally killed a perverted LA woman during sex (!). Now her vengeful husband, an addict cop no less (and Rourke to boot), is waiting to strike when Frye gets out of prison. But Ray goes out of the Fryer pen and into the fire when, on parole, he boards with the scheming little family of a chintzy car-wash
entrepreneur. There's also a poison-dart serial killer on the loose who may or may not be relevant. Two principle actors share writing and directing credit in this eccentric exercise in style and thespian attitudes, that quaintly cloaks its sexy leading
ladies in bikinis even during shower scenes. For a more straightforward tale of post-prison revenge, check out Jack Nicholson in THE CROSSING GUARD.
A GUN, A CAR, A BLONDE: A disenchanted man retreats into an elaborate fantasy world--based on the "mean streets" of the hard-boiled film noir milieu--in which he is a gutter-dwelling gumshoe out to find and protect a beautiful blonde woman. Only when his real and imaginary worlds meet is he able to find an ending to the story.
