Final(ish) Film Idea

The film starts with a smartly dressed man, carrying a briefcase, speaking on the phone (possibly in a foreign language, subtitled) to an unknown person. The man sits on a park bench and waits for someone, where he is joined by a normal looking man who starts to talk to the smartly dressed man, who dismisses him or otherwise ignores him. Eventually the smartly dressed man, decides to leave, accidentally leaving his briefcase. The normal looking bloke sees that the man has left his briefcase and initially shouts to him, but he cannot see him, so instead elects to take the briefcase home.

In the subsequent scene, the smartly dressed man, is being scolded for losing the briefcase by a woman, his boss, in this scene it is revealed that they both work for a crime syndicate, and that the man must locate the briefcase by midnight or be killed. The man thinks back to where he’s been to attempt to relocate the case and ultimately remembers the park, he comes to the conclusion that the normal-looking man has it, and wishes to locate him.

At the regular man’s house, he is attempting to open the briefcase after coming to the conclusion that is filled with money, diamonds or something else of considerable value. He uses a screwdriver to try and pry it open, but cannot; attempts to saw through it, to no avail; and repeatedly stamps on the case- all of this shown through a series of jump cuts or montage. When his ideas fail, he heads to B&Q to buy a crowbar, and when leaving the store, is followed by the well-dressed man, who is being told on the phone to “kill him”. He pulls out a gun and shoots at the normal-bloke, who ducks at the right time to pick up a coin on the floor. Somebody else is shot inadvertently, causing the well-dressed man to flee.

Later, in a pub, the normal-looking bloke is spiked by the well-dressed man, but he accidentally spills his drink and thus remains sober. Eventually, tired of being incapable of killing the regular-man, the well-dressed man follows him home and knocks on the door, asking to come in. He threatens him with a gun, the normal looking man grabs the briefcase, and attempts to smash the well-dressed man around the head with it, knocking him out. The combination written on his hand is revealed, and is inputted in the case. When the case is opened, credits are cut to, leaving the film on a cliff-hanger.
