Robert De Niro is Dragna, a crime boss, who hires Jack (John Cusack) to pick up a bag and take it to a specific hotel and wait in room 13 until Dragna can retrieve it. His only orders are "don't look in the bag". Surprisingly, Jack doesn't look in the bag.  He waits in the hotel and becomes involved with a host of crazy characters who may or may not have something to do with what's in the bag, may be trying to steal the bag or may just be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  One of these characters is Rivka (Rebecca Da Costa), a beautiful women who appears to need to hide out in Jack's room. Complications ensue and when Dragna finally shows up, everyone must face the consequences for what is in the bag.

This was an interesting movie.  It is a little over the top.  Robert De Niro is hilarious as a bad guy who looks like Martin Scorsese.  It keeps you guessing until the end and of course, you want to know what's in the bag? Not a great movie but entertaining.
