About 'Fast & Loose' 

The story of the film is about a leader of an upper-echelon criminal organization who suffers memory loss from an attack. He then reunites with his crew, only to find that things aren’t how he thought they were. When John Riley (Smith) wakes up in Tijuana after being left for dead with absolutely no memory, he follows a string of clues to uncover his identity discovering he’s been living two different lives: one, as a super-successful crime kingpin, surrounded by beautiful women, expensive toys, and a lavish lifestyle and the other as an undercover CIA agent, but with a puny salary, no family or home life whatsoever, and zero trappings of success. But he cannot remember which of these two personas is his true identity, and, more importantly, which life he really wants to live.
