Gone Bamboo

Synopsis

Welcome to the retirement home of Henry and Frances, ex-New Yorkers and professional assassins. A luxury hotel suite in an idyllic, tequila-drenched Caribbean hideaway. It's supposed to be all cocktails and sex on the beach. But when a job icing a Mafioso godfather goes awry, trouble hits paradise ...in the form of a cross-dressing capo, a debauched Irish hard man and a slew of incompetent but vicious US marshals.
