A mobster travels to Hollywood to collect a debt, and discovers that the movie business is much the same as his current job.

No review. Just a quote from the movie.

Harry Zimm: I once asked this literary agent, uh, what kind of writing paid the best... he said, "Ransom notes."

Nuff said.

FUN FACT: According to Elmore Leonard, Martin Weir (Danny DeVito), is based on Leonard's own dealings with Dustin Hoffman.
