Palmetto

Stage a bogus kidnapping, collect the ransom, take 10% off the top and have a nice life, see ya later. They told Harry Barber the plan would work like clockwork. But it's hapless Harry who is running out of time. Woody Harrelson is Harry, a Florida drifter who goes from perpetrator to patsy when lured into an abduction scam proposed by a mysterious blonde. Director Volker Schlondorff (The Tin Drum, The Handmaid's Tale) steadily raises the stakes as Harry scrambles to untangle the mystery involving three women (Elisabeth Shue, Gina Gershon, Chloe Sevigny), false identities, cold corpses and a string of murderous clues that set him up for a very hard fall.
