Palmetto is a revisionist noir 1998 film based on the novel Just Another Sucker by James Hadley Chase. The movie stars Woody Harrelson and Elisabeth Shue.
Upon returning to his fetid Florida hometown after a bum-rap prison stint, grizzled and jaded ex-muckraker Harry Barber gets a curious proposal from the bored young wife of a decrepit millionaire: kidnap her stepdaughter and split the hefty ransom. But before you can say "plan gone awry," the plan's gone awry--and Harry's the convenient fall guy.
