1999, 106 minutes, Rated MA

Betty Sizemore (RENEE ZELLWEGER, Bridget Jones' Diary) is a good-hearted waitress trapped in a small town and a bad marriage. Every night Betty escapes into a fantasy world, as she avidly tunes in to watch her favourite hospital soap opera 'A Reason To Love' and dreams of running away with the glamorous leading man Dr David Ravell (GREG KINNEAR, As Good As It Gets).
When Betty's greedy husband puts together a shady drug deal, Charlie, an ageing hitman (MORGAN FREEMAN, Deep Impact) and his protigi (CHRIS ROCK, Lethal Weapon 4), enter their world. The pair are sent to reclaim the stolen drugs and Betty witnesses the interrogation and brutal murder of her husband at their hands.
Traumatised by this savage event, Betty enters into an alternate reality and transforms herself into 'Nurse Betty' setting off to LA to be reunited with the man of her dreams. What she doesn't realise, as she lives out her fantasy, is that reality is catching up with her as the hitmen close in.
Nurse Betty is a quirky comedy thriller - hilarious one moment, chilling the next - from award-winning director Neil LaBute (Your Friends and Neighbours). A WINNER OF THE BEST SCREENPLAY AWARD AT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2000.
