"ROUTE 9 is an extremely well-crafted rural thriller with gripping performances by Kyle MacLachlan, Wade Williams, Peter Coyote, Miguel Sandoval and Roma Maffia. The story is somewhat comparable to A SIMPLE PLAN, but the twists and turns come faster and more furiously. When two small town deputies find a million and a half bucks in cash at the scene of a drug deal gone bad, they take the money and successfully cover their tracks--or so they think. The director, David Mackay, (who made a film called THE LESSER EVIL which is as good, if not better, than ROUTE 9) does an excellent job of maintaining suspense and tension. The situation becomes perilous, but there is an excellent sense of humor throughout the film. I can't recommend it highly enough!!!"

"This film was ALRIGHT...but not much more.
If you have the DVD and haven't seen the movie...DON'T watch the Trailer First like I did! The Trailer gives TOO MUCH away.
Okay movie to watch if you're needing distraction from vaccuming or laundry."
Suspenseful TV thriller.

"Two cops arrive at a crime scene with seven shot dead bodies and a suitcase with $1.5 million dollars. They decide to steal the money and don't mention it to anybody. But it turns out one of the shot people weren't dead and has heard everything and soon, they find themselves in deep trouble.The story is quite interesting. It shows how people can behave in ways they didn't know they were capable of, when they find themselves in strange situations. It's not too predictable and the movie has a nice, sometimes melancholic feeling. All the actors are good, especially Kyle MacLachlan, Wade Williams and Roma Maffia. I recommend you to see this movie, especially if you liked "A Simple Plan". It's a good, suspenseful thriller."
A Twisty Crime Drama

"Two small time country sheriffs stumble across a crime scene with a lot of dead bodies and a suitcase full of cash. Then they start making mistakes.Greed gets the better of them (and their friends) as the story keeps twisting tighter and tighter. Meanwhile, bodies keep pileing up and the hole they dig gets deeper and deeper.The only question that remains in this well made little film is who will make it out alive."
Quite Good; Similar to "Simple Plan" & "Blood Simple"

"Dashielle Hammett came up with the original idea that once people committed to murder, their thinking became simple and so they made error after error leading to their own destruction. It was the letting of the blood that converted them into morons. This film runs with that premise as did "Simple Plan" and "Blood Simple". Two deputy sheriffs come across a crime scene that seems too good to be true and within fifteen minutes they become thieves and murderers. From that original activity, all hell proceeds to break loose. This film also has a good natured sense of humor about it and you will find yourself at times laughing at the two leads and their descent into criminality. Well done. We enjoyed it a lot."
