Donor Unknown

Details Movie Rated: R; Genre: Mystery and Thriller; With: Peter Onorati and Sam Robards

In this umpteenth tale of suspicious organ transplants, a macho insurance executive (Peter Onorati, late of TV's Civil Wars) tries to figure out the mystery behind the ill-gotten heart currently residing in his body. Replacing suspense for loads of lame proselytizing, the made-for-cable Donor Unknown even manages to waste cool character actor Clancy Brown (The Bride) as the looming chief procurer of the local organ chop shop. Despite taking a chance with a nicely downbeat ending, this would-be thriller never assembles all the right parts. D
