Set along the highways of the U.S. heartland, the story follows the journey of an ex-cop who is inadvertently thrust into a fierce struggle between the FBI and the Chicago underworld, both of which are searching for a missing federal agent who holds the key to the syndicate's demise. Boomer, a special agent in Chicago, is asked to infiltrate in a gang. But something goes horribly wrong and his colleague Carlos is murdered right in front of his eyes. Boomer decides to leave the police force and reunite with the love of his life, Kelly. She hated his work and moved to Cedar Falls. On his way, he gets robbed of his car and is picked up by a guy who calls himself Flash. He seems friendly at first, but then mentions he is on the run for assassins. Boomer answers his phone in the car. A woman recognizes his voice as that of a certain Harry James. It's a name Boomer will not forget. James is a special agent who is sought for by both mob and authorities. Soon both groups will think Boomer's the one they're looking for. When the movie started i thought that its gonna be just another one of those stupid ones where the most important thing is a car blowing up. That would be my guess but as the story developed after 15 minutes, the movie got better. A variety of good characters made it even better and a touch of humor even more. But this does not mean that things wont be blowing up. The story is also developing pretty good and it takes unexpected turns as the good guy turn bad and the bad ones turn good. The whole concept of a dude being in the wrong place at the wrong time is good and till the end you'll just be waiting for it to hit you with another new situation that you haven't seen before, nor later. For all its B-gradeness "A Better Way To Die" is definitely entertaining. It rolls along at a great pace and has a few nice twists and turns. The section with "Flash", played by Joe Pantoliano (Cypher in "The Matrix"), has got a great Stephen King quirky feel to it that, unfortunately, ends all too soon.<br/><br/>The action scenes are well thought out, with some very innovative variations on old themes. Considering various attributes that strike this film as a low budget number, the script is surprisingly good, aiming to examine the motivations of the characters a bit more than usual. The cast isn't exactly stellar, but does a convincing job all the same. Lou Diamond Phillips does a good job and there are a few other familiar faces in there like Andre Braugher (Striking Distance).<br/><br/>If you like this movie you will probably like "Thursday" (Woods, 1998) which is one of the most under-rated films of its ilk. Don't expect too much from this one though, just suspend all belief and strap in for a good ride!
