Instead, he takes the money, then attempts to warn the wife, Suzanne (Lara Flynn Boyle) that her life is in danger. She, in turn, tries to hire him to kill her husband. Michael, knowing that the longer he stays in town the more danger he'll get into, continuely tries to leave town with no success.

Trivia

Red Rock West was well received at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival, but the film was deemed cable and direct to video product by the producers. When the owner of a San Francisco movie theater, who was a huge fan of the film, arranged for a theatrical release, the film gained a "buzz" and toured the country as an art house hit.
