Summary of Who is Cletis Tout?

While in prison, Trevor Finch (Christian Slater), an ex-convict specializing in identification falsification, meets a magician and jewel thief, Micah (Richard Dreyfuss). Together, they bust out and take on new identities, planning to dig up a pile of diamonds that Micah buried under a tree. Unfortunately, their plans are foiled when Finch chooses to use the name Cletis Tout. Cletis Tout was a journalist who sold the press incriminating pictures of a gangster murdering a prostitute. Now the mob is after Finch, thinking he's the real Tout. To make matters worse, Micah contacts his headstrong daughter Tess (Portia De Rossi), to help them find the diamonds. After Micah is knocked off by the mob, Finch and Tess embark on a journey to find the diamonds themselves, only to discover a low security prison surrounds the spot where the diamonds are buried. Putting a unique narrative spin on the film, WHO IS CLETIS TOUT? is told entirely in flashback as Critical Jim (Tim Allen), a hit man hired by the mob to kill Tout, holds Finch at gunpoint forcing him to describe his journey.

TV Guide

Screenwriter Chris ver Weil's directing debut is good-natured and never dull, but its virtues are small and easily overshadowed by its predictability. It's the kind of film that plays better on video than in theaters. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle

It's a respectable B- movie -- airy, inconsequential and a little too cute at times, but fairly entertaining all the same. Full Review
