It’s on AMC as we speak. As near as I can tell, some kids offer to retrieve smuggled goods by putting a sack of salt underneath to weigh it down. When the salt dissolves, the cargo floats to the top.
Now some little kid just got shot underneath a bridge by some gangster.
Should I continue watching or change the channel?

D’oh…one of the gangster kids just stabbed a cop on accident. What’s the plotline here?

If it helps, it has Robert Deniro in it now…he just pulled some briefcase full of money out of a locker.
Anyone?

I use it all the time – it even remembers where you live, so you only have to calibrate it once.

My favourite movie. Hope you enjoyed it. Probably had a LOT cut though.
