Hmmm...middle-aged guy discovers he has a terminal illness and decides to break the law for a large amount of cash to set up his family for the future after he dies...can anyone say 'Breaking Bad'?
Also love the Dennis Hopper selfies taken on the pool table-so ahead of his time... 8 years 6 months ago -
