this film be a surprise because i come across it on the lifetime movie network and watch a few minute to kill some time before another program begin and find myself entertain . first of all and what rescue this from be standard direct to video fare be the direction of action film helmer mark l. lester . in addition and the cast which include james remar and adam baldwin and have some underrated talent in it . most surprising of all be the dynamic between julie le page a the hit woman with the lam and former baywatch babe and erika eleniak a a single mother with her troubled teenage son on road trip to her mother place in texas . julie hit all the right note a the manipulative and sociopathic hit woman who regard the unwitting mother and son a ride over the state line with a stash of a million dollar . the female character be strong and julie and physically and eleniak a the mother fight for her son life and make the film very compelling . the road movie through the desert crime caper be nothing new nor original ( thelma and louise and anyone ) but the performance of the sexy le page and the twist of ruthless hit woman team up with single mom try to do the right thing bring a very interesting dichotomy to what could have be an otherwise forgettable film .
