Who is Cletis Tout? (2002)

Movie-buff hitman tracks down his mark, Cletis Tout, only to have the guy insist that he is not actually Tout. The hitman is intrigued by this and offers the guy a chance to tell his story (as in a movie pitch) to save his life. The story involves a diamond heist, a prison escape, a dramatic death, assumed identities, a long-lost daughter... In short, it's a helluva pitch.

I found this to be pretty fun -- kind of in the vein of Hudson Hawk. The biggest problem was in the casting of the hitman. Tim Allen does not make for a convincing heavy.
