Chain of Fools is a 2001 American heist comedy film directed by Swedish production collective Traktor.

[3] Thomas Kresk is a loser—he isn't good at his job, he's been tossed out of his home, and his wife just dumped him for the marriage counselor.

On top of all that, his longtime friend and mentor Gordon Freeman died tragically.

And yes, things get worse: a criminal named Avnet (Jeff Goldblum) has stolen three priceless coins, and decided to blackmail Bollingsworth (Tom Wilkinson), his billionaire partner in crime.

Meredith Kolko (Salma Hayek), and that his nephew Scottie (Devin Drewitz) has now swallowed the coins.
