For her second feature, Canadian director
Kari Skogland (
The Size of Watermelons) treads
Tarantino turf with the violent visuals of this crime drama. Small-time hoods Eddie (
Donal Logue) and Lucas (
Gregory Sporleder) go to a rural area to collect a debt but instead get a dose of sexual humiliation from thugs they encounter there. With stoned Mamet (
Callum Keith Rennie) accompanying them, they return to the farm, battle it out, and leave with a big cocaine stash, property of druglord Horace Burke (
Paul Sorvino). Soon the trio is pursued by both criminals and cops. Skogland made TV commercials and music videos before her first feature. Her
Men With Guns is not to be confused with
John Sayles'
Men With Guns, released the same month. Shown at the 1998 Rotterdam Film Festival.
