The Bag Man (2014)
pretty awesome flick

An interesting take on the gun-toting crime thriller, "The Bag Man" stars John Cusack as "Jack" the hired gun who must look after a mysterious bag for Robert De Niro the crime boss with a tendency to quote literature. The offbeat, eccentric nature of the film suggests that writer/director David Grovic is a fan of film's like the Coen Brothers "Blood Simple" or Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." Set in a seedy, rundown motel, the movie is filled with tension and has great action sequences. It's also unexpectedly funny at times, which offers some needed relief from the violent sequences. It might not be a masterpiece on the level of "The Usual Suspects" but it was a pretty good crime thriller overall and I liked it.
