PATRICIA ARQUETTE AND DAVID HARBOUR STAR IN COURTENEY COX’S WICKEDLY FUNNY TAKE ON AMERICA’S STRANGEST BANK ROBBERY, A TRUE STORY OF BLOODSHED, BETRAYAL AND THE WORST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD.
In September 2003, a pizza delivery driver walked into a bank in Erie, Pennsylvania with a bomb locked around his neck, claimed he was a hostage, and was dead within the hour, triggering one of the strangest and most infamous cases in FBI history.
As investigators dig in, they uncover a bizarre, decades-long entanglement at the centre of it all: Marge (Arquette), a brilliant, volatile woman who believes the world owes her everything, and Bill (Harbour), the hapless, devoted handyman who has never stopped trying to win her back. Blending heist-movie momentum with pitch-black comedy, and powered by the twisted relationship at its core, EVIL GENIUS is as wild and unpredictable as its two leads.
