If... Dog... Rabbit... (also titled One Last Score) is a 1999 American crime drama thriller film written by, directed by and starring Matthew Modine.[1]
Plot
Johnnie Cooper (Modine), fresh out of prison for armed robbery, finds work at a gas station to try to start a new life. His parole officer, Gilmore (David Keith), lets Cooper's father (Hurt), who he strongly suspects was also involved in the robbery, know about his release because of good behavior. Johnnie later calls his home where his brother Jamie (O'Connor) answers. Jamie and his girlfriend Judy (Marie) visit Johnnie and invite him home for a barbecue. Johnnie's boss (Dern) encourages Johnnie to go after work. After getting into a fight with his father, who is revealed to have left Johnnie behind to the cops on their last heist, Johnnie goes to a bar with Jamie and Judy. When Jamie tries to rob some Mexican drug dealers, and they fight him back, Johnnie intervenes, accidentally killing one of the Mexicans and getting his hand sliced with a knife. Johnnie, Jamie and Judy all drive away.
The next morning, Gilmore arrives at the Johnnie's workplace, having heard about the incident, to interrogate Johnnie about where he was last night. Being convinced that Johnnie was at his family's barbecue, Gilmore starts to leave, but Jamie, afraid of going to jail, knocks him out over the head with a wooden board. Freaking out, Johnnie takes Gilmore to the hospital, and later goes on the run with Jamie, and tells Judy to stay in town to not get involved.
