Leaving aside for the moment the question of how the Rat Pack may have gotten its name, consider: If Frank Sinatra had been angry at communists, would he have sneakily tattled on them? Of course not.

His brother Jacob (cunningly played by Billy Bob Thornton) is a halfwit, and Jacob's pal Lou (Brent Briscoe) has a heedless temper. Back home, Hank's wife Sarah (Bridget Fonda) quickly turns into this caper's Lady Macbeth...
