A car speeding along a snowy country road hits a deer and rolls out of control.
The two passengers survive the crash, but they just happen to be escaping from a casino robbery they just committed.
This starts a run across wild country, with the two crooks, a mostly clueless group of state troopers, and a boxer just out of prison all converging on the same address, a house in the middle of nowhere.
With a couple of mildly interesting developments, this is mostly familiar territory story-wise. It's not helped at all by the woeful Eric Bana in the lead bad guy slot.
Bana has never been much of a "star" for me. His nothingness was sealed when it was widely rumored that he was being considered for the next James Bond role, after Pierce Brosnan and before - thankfully - Daniel Craig was chosen.
The notion of Bana - an Australian - playing the quintessential Englishman was just too much for me. It's better if he continues to meander along in roles like this.
