Kate and her brutish boyfriend Big Al sell handguns on the streets of New York. She’s smart, stylish, and self-confident, but all that leaves her when Al, in a jealous and self-indulgent rage, beats her. Three friends encourage her recovery: Vic, a woman who would like to be Kate’s lover; Reilly, who runs with Al but also is attracted to Kate and repulsed by Al’s violence; and, Liz, the counselor assigned to Kate from a battered-women’s program. Vic and Reilly talk about killing Al, Liz gives pep talks; Kate remains frightened. Will Al’s menace and Kate’s dependency hold sway?
Set in New York City, the film revolves around a couple involved in small-time crime. After Big Al (Macfadyen), a gun dealer, abuses his girlfriend, Kat (Jovovich), one too many times, she forms a plan for getting him out of the way permanently.

Andie MacDowell and Stephen Dorff will also star in this feature. Jovovich is to play the girlfriend to Macfadyen’s character, Ed. Ed is a gun and drug dealer; after abusing his girlfriend one too many times she starts using her beauty to seduce his friends into framing him for murder.
Hey everyone, just thought I’d let you in on some stuff… I’m starting a film called .45 in about a month and it’s the first of three independent projects slated for this year for me. I love working on smaller films, because people take bigger risks with the script material and characters, so it’s really easy to get immersed in a totally different world from the one you’re actually living in. I wanted to share this process to some extent with you guys, because I said I would write from the set of my films to update you, but in so many strange ways, the film begins before the film in many ways. The character is starting way before I ever get on set really, so the lines between filming and life do get a bit blurred on certain movies… well, I guess the ones where the main concern of the producers and directors isn’t the monster or the explosions! Yea. That helps as you can well imagine… so I’ve been doing a lot of writing and thought that maybe I’d share it with you, I’ve transposed it to make it more “reader friendly” of course, but it’s close enough to some sort of process that I go through in the midst of preparing for a certain part. So here you go…
