A Better Way to Die is a 2000 action-thriller film directed by Scott Wiper, who also stars in the lead role. The movie is set in the fictional town of Fairview, Michigan and opens with Frank Keller (Scott Wiper) being chased by a group of gangsters through a freight yard after stealing a briefcase of money from them. In the ensuing chase, Frank accidentally causes the death of an innocent bystander, and ends up with a gunshot wound to the head.

Frank wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the events leading up to the shooting or how he got there. He soon discovers that the briefcase he stole contains evidence that could bring down a powerful crime syndicate, and that the gangsters are after him in order to retrieve it. With the help of a sympathetic police officer named Samantha (Natasha Henstridge), who he has a history with, Frank tries to piece together what happened and stay alive against overwhelming odds.

The film features a strong supporting cast, including Jack Conley as the ruthless gangster who will stop at nothing to get the briefcase, Carmen Argenziano as Frank's boss at a bar he works at, and Andre Braugher in a brief but memorable role as a hitman hired by the gangsters to take out Frank.

As Frank delves deeper into the conspiracy surrounding the briefcase, he becomes increasingly aware that there are people on both sides of the law who are willing to betray him for their own gain. The tension builds steadily as Frank and Samantha are pursued through the streets of Fairview by the gangsters, leading to a climactic showdown that will determine whether Frank lives or dies.

A Better Way to Die is a well-paced, tightly plotted action movie with a strong script and solid performances from the cast. The film has a gritty, realistic feel that sets it apart from the more over-the-top action movies of the era, and the character of Frank Keller is a compelling and sympathetic protagonist who we root for throughout the movie. The action sequences are well choreographed and exciting, and there are plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep the audience engaged.

Overall, A Better Way to Die is a highly enjoyable action-thriller that is well worth watching for fans of the genre. While it may not be the most groundbreaking or original movie of its kind, it is a well-executed and entertaining film that delivers exactly what it promises. If you're in the mood for a tense, adrenaline-fueled ride with plenty of action and drama, this is definitely a movie worth checking out.

A Better Way to Die is a 2000 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.6.
