Bored at work? A new game to play... Right now I'm bored to tears so I am playing an email game with myself and some colleagues involving the hallowed Samuel L Jackson and his incessant mortgage payment movies (Snakes On A Plane, Deep Blue Sea etc).

Your mission (should you decide to accept it) is to come up with a Title, tagline and a brief outline of a story for Samuel L Jackson to take part in whilst remaining one of the coolest cats in today's Hollywood lineup.
