Three Texas teens hope to make a break for it and escape their dead-end existence in a cotton-mill town but get sucked into the seedy underbelly of organized crime when one of them steals from the wrong man. With his best pal Bobby and his girlfriend Sue getting ready to leave town for college, troublemaker B.J. steals some money from his boss, Giff, so he can treat his friends to a wild weekend of partying. Unfortunately, the stolen money belonged to a dangerous gangster known as Big Red, and the three teens are forced to rob a local money-laundering front to settle their debt and buy their freedom. They are driven into a world of organized crime to fight for their lives. Deception and insecurities among the three friends increase the tension leading to the heist, making it uncertain who will come out on top - or even alive. (official distributor synopsis)

The ultimate hillbillies make problems and theorize on how to get out of those problems. They are usually not very successful, so they get more and more entangled in their mess. There are a few fairly good ideas though, including awesome music. The music is the only thing making an impression on me that lasted until the next day. The rest of it was just unremarkable.

I was expecting something more, but calling this film a noir is really nonsense. It has a criminal plot, but neo-noir is something slightly different for me. The characters are not interesting or strong enough, there is just an effort to complicate the story. And this just didn't work for me. I didn't even want to finish watching it.
