Suicide Kings

Max and Elise (the girl) are behind her own "kidnapping;" they set Avery up to think he was selling her out to pay a debt. When Charlie pays the ransom, they split the money with the thugs and disappear. Charlie and Lono find out, kill the thugs, track Max and Elise down to a resort, and kill them both for "lying to their friends."

Lee

Factual error: During the scene where Charlie's thug, Lo, is in the street with the homeless man and his "busket", Lo gets angry at him, pulls his Glock out and rakes the slide to chamber a round. However, in the next shots of Lo we see his Glock with the slide still back even though it should have returned to the closed position.
