Man Trouble

ComedyRomance100 min

Jack Nicholson is a sleazy but affable guard dog trainer whose business takes a crooked turn when he’s blackmailed into stealing a tell-all manuscript from one of his own clients. Ellen Barkin co-stars in the middle of the fallout, with Harry Dean Stanton and Beverly D’Angelo among the people circling the scheme. What starts with watchdogs and private security turns into a mix of blackmail, client secrets, and romantic-comic complications, with Nicholson’s hustling charm pushing the story forward even as the job gets messier.
