Young Ziggy Watson (Harris) abruptly joins forces with a couple of Gen-X holdup men robbing the jewelry store where she works. She thinks that the outlaw lifestyle can help her hook up with the father whom she has never met. Somewhat arbitrarily, she has determined that the long-absent dad is Frank Drake (McHattie), a desperate and bewildered middle-ager, vengeful after having been ripped off bigtime by a phone-scam tycoon (Gossett Jr.). Then there's Ziggy's devoted boyfriend Walter (Woolvett), who follows doggedly after her. These characters (and the police) chase, betray and shoot at each other, and the brisk pace never slackens, even if your sympathy for the consience-free heroine does. Partially-produced by actor Priestley, it's a Quentin Tarentino-inspired road thriller, sure, but not bad for the breed, and can sit comfortably on the shelf next to PULP FICTION.

Partially-produced by actor Priestley, it's a Quentin Tarentino-inspired road thriller, sure, but not bad for the breed, and can sit comfortably on the shelf next to PULP FICTION. () Vengeance, blood lust and greed fuel a twisted road trip rampage through the hinterlands of Canada. The journey begins when a pair of psychotic jewel thieves--Breakfast (Preistley) and his partner Panda--rob the boutique where the beautiful Ziggy (Harris) works. After she tips them off to where the good jewels are hidden, the bandits agree to let Ziggy, who's in search of her long-lost father, and her squeamish boyfriend Walter hitch a ride north to the small town where Ziggy believes her tortured father is hiding out. With the police hot on their tail, the quartet tears their way north, chasing after an ever elusive "big score."
