Citizen Gangster


Synopsis
Based on the true story of Edwin Boyd, the man who became postwar Toronto's most famous criminal, Citizen Gangster is a powerful tale of one man's rise from obscurity to criminal celebrity and the dangerous price he pays for it.

Eddie Boyd (Scott Speedman, The Moth Diaries, The Strangers), has returned from WWII and is dismayed by public indifference towards veterans and humiliated by his inability to fulfill his dream of being a Hollywood star. Moreover, his veteran status has done nothing to help him provide for his children and wife Doreen (Kelly Reilly, Sherlock Holmes). Seeing only disappointment in the face of his policeman father (Brian Cox, Zodiac), Eddie becomes desperate and starts to rob banks. But what starts as friendly and flirtatious robberies evolves over time into a career not unlike that of Clyde Barrow or Butch Cassidy, in which crime and love mix with explosive results.

Breathless

Clark County, Texas trailer housewife Lorna (Gina Gershon) is fed up with her small-time thief husband Dale (Val Kilmer), especially after he doesn't plan on sharing the $100,000 cash he'd robbed at gunpoint from the local savings & loan. But before she and her best friend Tiny (Kelli Giddish of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) can split the loot and start a new life, they'll have to find the money, dispose of a dead body, distract the nosy sheriff (Ray Liotta) and outsmart a persistent private investigator (Wayne Duvall of O Brother, Where Art Tho?). Richard Riehle (Office Space) co-stars in this pitch-black comedy/thriller about nasty double-crosses, bloody doublewides, and a whole bunch of unexpected twists that will leave you Breathless.
