Hot Tamale

In this offbeat comedy-thriller, a naive salsa musician from Wyoming unwittingly becomes embroiled in a wild adventure when he's roped into helping a career criminal on the run from hitmen and jewel thieves. As they navigate a treacherous landscape of stolen diamonds, psychotic thugs, and racy women, Harlan finds himself torn between his dreams of making it big and the perils of his newfound involvement. With a talented cast and a debut directorial effort from Michael Damian, "Hot Tamale" is a wildly entertaining ride that's equal parts action-packed and laugh-out-loud funny.
