[edit] Plot
Nicholas 'Oz' Oseransky (Perry) is a depressed American dentist working and living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His wife (Arquette) hates him and wants him dead, and so does his mother-in-law. Both of them would rather collect from Oz's life insurance.
Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Willis), a hitman, moves in next door under the assumed name of Jimmy "Jones" (having denied witness protection)for ratting on the Gogolak gang and immediately makes friends with Oz, but it is hard to determine whether Jimmy would still kill him if he was paid enough. This is tested as Oz's wife sends him on a journey to Janni Gogolak in Chicago to rat out on Jimmy's whereabouts and collect a finder's fee.
A sequel entitled The Whole Ten Yards was released on April 9, 2004.
