Why so much hype?
Aubrey Hackett
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I have had memories of this movie for as long as I can remember. I have asked so many people if they remember it at rental and movie specialty stores. Sadly no one does. I however have the premise engraved in my mind two small two deputies stumble onto a drug deal gone bad. The two men are faced with a choice, morals are questions and things get complicated as they always do. The is full of great supporting characters portrayed by Peter Coyote and Roma Maffia. I finally found it after watching "Twin Peaks" and recognizing the actor. Thank God for IMDb and I was able to order it from Amazon. It was worth every penny, please do yourself a favor and check it out.

Two policemen discover men dead after a gunfight. There is money too. Lots of. And drug. What would you do, keep it, leave it ? The dead ones don't need money and they were drug dealers so would it be stealing ? Of course the two men steal the money, and hide it, and they swear they'll forget all about it for a while. Of course, there are some evidences, of course there is a federal agent who thinks that there is money missing... The situation will get worse and worse until the end. If you've seen "a simple plan", from Sam Raimi, you'll notice both movies have quite the same plot. Funny : both movies came out in 1998, it was in the air... But one of these two movies is very good, and it is not "route 9". Sorry for the work, for the actors - not bad actually - sorry every body, this movie is not a masterpiece. At all.

This was a very well made TV movie.*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* It is more than just your usual car chase movie taking place on the Western frontier. This movie follows two sheriff's deputies as they stumble upon a drug deal gone bad. They then decide to take a large sum of money that they find on the scene, but complications arise when a Federal Detective steps in and tries to find out what really happened. There aren't really any famous actors who play in this film. The biggest one would have to be Peter Coyote as the town's sheriff who is having marital problems. ROUTE 9 is one of the best made for TV movies that I have ever seen. More complications arise when the two deputies discover that one of the men killed at the site was an undercover agent (Silas Weir Mitchell) for the government...and he was still alive when they stole the money, and he had a recording device attached to his shoulder. This makes matters worse. Christopher Murray even has a part in the beginning as the ring-leader of the drug dealers. ROUTE 9 is a superior TV movie. I give it the TV movie award of excellence. Just playing. But for being a TV movie, this one wasn't bad. Let's see what else they got at Hollywood. 5/5.

Route 9 is a good movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat (sort of). 2 small town cops stumble upon a loot of cash after a drug deal has gone bad. they decide to keep the money, and get away with it (sort of). What's next is an interesting look at Murphy's Law. There's everything here folks. Comedy, suspense, action, betrayal. An overall A for a low budget flick.
