92 minutes – Comedy
Release date: August 1, 1997
Canadian Distributor: Lions Gate Entertainment
Dave Foley stars in this comedy as Nelson Hibbert, a nebbish business executive who blows a fuse when he is passed over for a promotion. After being heard by the entire office shouting death threats at his boss, Nelson panics when he goes in to see his boss again and finds him dead, stabbed in the neck. Before he knows it, Nelson has grabbed the murder weapon and gotten blood all over himself. Knowing that he`s now the prime suspect, Nelson runs out of the office and goes on the lam. Though the police, primarily in the form of US actor and co-writer, David Anthony Higgins, soon find out he isn’t the killer, Nelson is too busy running from the law to realize that they’re not looking for him. Made in Toronto in 1997, this film took forever to be released. It essentially expands on a sketch Dave Foley scripted for The Kids in the Hall.
