Synopsis
Best Seller (1987) is an American crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Flynn. The film pairs James Woods and Brian Dennehy in an odd-couple dynamic that works precisely because neither actor wants to like the other.
Dennis Meechum is a homicide detective who moonlights as a crime novelist — a man who has seen enough to know how violence really operates. Cleve, played by Woods, is a contract killer who has spent years doing quiet, untraceable work for a powerful politician. Now Cleve believes his employer wants him dead. His solution: go to Meechum, offer full details of every job he ever ran, and turn it all into a book. As the two travel the country pulling together evidence, something shifts between them — not friendship, exactly, but a grudging recognition. Then witnesses start dying before they can sign statements.
Flynn keeps the tension low-key until it suddenly isn't, and Woods plays Cleve as a man without remorse or illusion — only calculation. That's what makes him unsettling. Stream Best Seller (1987) online on iFILM.
