Leonardo Ricagni, director of the 1998 Uruguayan
comedy El Chevrolé, helmed this straight-to-video
ensemble crime thriller, in which the main character is a bag of money. Initially belonging to a casino on an Indian reservation,
The Chief (
Russell Means) hires
The Hitman (
Chris O'Donnell) to track the bag down when it turns up missing. As
The Hitman gets closer and closer to finding it, the bag of dough passes through the hands of several other nameless characters, including
The Waitress, played by
Rachael Leigh Cook,
The Drifter, played by
Jeremy Davies, and
The Sheriff, played by
Keith David. Before hitting American video-store shelves in 2003,
29 Palms screened at the
München Fantasy Filmfest and the
Cologne Fantasy Film Festival, both in Germany. The film should not be confused with the 2004
Bruno Dumont picture of the same name.
