Plot.

A man learns an unexpected lesson about the power of the written work in this dark independent comedy from Canada. Martyn (David Hewlett) is a young man who seems to be devoting his life to going to college; he's persuaded into stealing a rare and valuable book, but the burglary goes awry and Martyn is forced to kill a book dealer when he tries to hold on to the previous volume. Martyn now has to make a getaway, get rid of the body, and deliver the purloined letters, but there's a problem -- his car won't start. Martyn finds Theresa (Tanya Allen), a beautiful female auto mechanic, and persuades her to fix his vehicle. She agrees, but Martyn soon realizes that her boyfriend is the man he's just murdered. Theresa soon catches on that Martyn has stolen the book, and displays a greater interest in his ill-gotten literature than her boyfriend's death or repairing the car.

Wiki.

Clutch is a Canadian crime comedy film, written and directed by Chris Grismer and released in 1998.

The film stars David Hewlett as Martyn, an aimless man who has spent ten years as a university student without ever graduating with a degree; convinced to take part in the theft of a valuable rare manuscript from antiquarian book collector Richard (Carlo Rota), he accidentally kills Richard in the process and is forced to figure out what to do with the body. However, after running into car troubles along the way, he develops a romantic relationship with Theresa (Tanya Allen), a mechanic at the garage who may offer him new insight into how to move forward in his life.

The cast also includes Paul A. MacFarlane, Joe De Paul, Keith Knight, Matt Hopkins, Gordon Michael Woolvett, Peter Spence, Kathryn Kirkpatrick, Ellen-Ray Hennessy, Layton Morrison, David Fox, John O'Callaghan, Semi Chellas, Allen Hughes, Kevin Rushton, Tony Cordeiro, Deirdre Kirby, Shelagh Hughes and Colleen Grew in supporting roles. Tom Green also has a small role in the film as a waiter at a cybercafé; however, as he was by far the most famous person in its cast by the time of its commercial release in 2000, he received top billing as one of its main stars despite the small size of its role.
