Removed unnecessary spoiler.


* DownerEnding: The movie isn't so bad, but the alternate ending, including the canonical one from the books, pretty much defines downer. In the book, the main character kills his corrupt boss, kills the woman he's been fantasizing about because she has a razor to his throat, kills his partner who was going to kill him too, manages to get rid of the hitman, and survives the morning with the money and is in the middle of making his getaway, only to die via camper crushing his chest after stopping to help the owner because he was writing on the back of it with a marker.

* ASimplePlan: The basic plot against Guerrard is simple; Charlie and Vic skim a huge amount of money off his accounts, then skip town with no one the wiser. Unfortunately, no one informed the weather man and they end up stuck in Wichita for an extra night, where everything proceeds to go breathtakingly wrong.
