Jack (John Cusack), a low-rent thug, thinks he's hit the jackpot when legendary crime boss Dragna (Robert DeNiro) gives him a simple assignment: pick up a package and deliver it--don't open it, and don't ask questions. But over the course of a long and increasingly violent night waiting in a seedy motel, the bag attracts the attention of a slew of shady characters--including femme fatale Rivka (Rebecca Da Costa), the sleazy motel manager (Crispin Glover), a one-eyed gangster (Sticky Fingaz), an undersized hit man (Martin Klebba) and a crooked cop (Dominic Purcell). As Jack awaits the arrival of Dragna, each of them will make a play for the package's unknown contents and Jack will do whatever it takes to hang on to his precious cargo.

The Bag Man will be available on Blu-ray((TM)), DVD and DIGITAL HD with UltraViolet((TM)).
