A Simple Plan is a thriller of uncommon resonance. There are guns, murder and
betrayal, but Sam Raimi’s film is really about happiness and its relation to
money. For most, happiness and money is a struggle of career and family, habits
and foresight. But what if you were to simply find a gym bag full of drug money?
And what if you found this treasure with a relative and mutual friend who you
just couldn’t trust? This is the ‘what if’ conceit that will have you contemplating
your own reaction to such a crazy, life changing dilemma.
Set in a rural Minnesota town, the three men who stumble upon the cash are
Hank Mitchell (Bill Paxton), an upstanding mill worker; Jacob (Billy Bob
Thornton), his obtuse yet benevolent sibling; and Lou (Brent Briscoe), a
pugnacious barfly with a chip on his shoulder.
