The Bag Man: Netflix streaming. Once again, like in "Identity", John Cusack ends up in a motel in the middle of nowhere and a bunch of people end up dead. This time he is a hitman and a lot of people want to kill him. He is given a task by Robert DeNiro: There is a bag that he is to pick up but under no circumstances to look into, an enjoyable MacGuffin. I've been thinking for some time that DeNiro has been dialing it in for years, taking either goofy or generic roles, but he makes this character both intriguing and menacing. And this movie has one of the most striking actresses I have seen in awhile. A fair amount of blood, but if that doesn't turn you off then it's enjoyable enough popcorn fare.
