Montana is a 1998 action crime comedy movie directed by Jennifer Leitzes. A mob boss known only as "The Boss" delegates Claire Kelsky (Kyra Sedgwick) and Nick Roth (Stanley Tucci), a pair of loyal professional killers, the task of finding a man named Koo, who stole his money. This happens at the request of his partner Wexler (John Ritter) and bookkeeper Duncan (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who are conspiring to control The Boss's organization. They fulfill the mission only partially- while the man is caught, there is no money to be found. Moreover, the situation escalates when Koo tries to kill The Boss with a weapon slipped to him by Kitty (Robin Tunney), the lovelorn ex-lover of The Boss. While The Boss survives, he considers his hitmen to have failed him and sends them on a mission to find Kitty, but forces them to bring along Jimmy (Ethan Embry), The Boss's ne'er-do-well son. The seemingly easy task spirals out of control and Claire soon finds herself targeted by her own organization.
