Released in 1998, Flypaper is an action, comedy, thriller and crime film directed by Klaus Hoch, running about 108 minutes.

What it’s about. Greed, lust and fate bring together a motley collection of oddballs and lowlifes for some rather sticky situations in Hoch's twisted neo-noir debut. Three separate but interconnected stories, all set on a deceptively sunny day in California and centered around one million dollars in cash, inspire Hoch's quirky characters to commit acts both devious and depraved in an attempt to make the big score.

Who’s in it. Flypaper stars Sadie Frost as Natalie, Craig Sheffer as Bobby Ray, Robert Loggia as Marvin and Lucy Liu as Dot, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.3/10, Flypaper has proved divisive with audiences.
