Product Description

Newly released from prison, Pike (David Caruso) allows himself to be talked into a raid on a Boston art gallery by Crane (Forest Whitaker), who promises that no guns will actually be involved. However, guns are very much involved, with the result that Crane is killed. The rest of the gang soon begin fighting amongst themselves while on the run, and tensions mount further when they pick up Natalie (Linda Fiorentino) en route.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Classic 3 July 2011
Format:DVD
I'm surprised that this film isn't more popular as it keeps the viewer engaged throughout. The film is basically a road movie based around an inept criminal gang, fleeing from a botched robbery which is revisited in flashbacks. The vehicle, a 1970 Chrysler Newport, looks great if slightly incongruous, but is still an essential cast member. The group dynamic is riddled with tensions, incompatibility, anger and frustration almost totally due to the character of 'Chino' (John Leguizamo). This guy could only be described as 'stupidity' and 'arrogance' personified. A Saint would surely have lost his patience with him, via a 9mm bullet! 'Natalie' the sultry hitchhiker (Linda Fiorentino) adds the glamour. In all this film should be appreciated by anyone who likes, A GOOD STORY, A GREAT CAST and A VERY COOL LOOKING CAR, all welded together to produce a very entertaining film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned suspense 21 May 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Throwing 5 unlikely, and seemingly incompatible actors together to make such a serious and somewhat suspenseful could be called miraculous, I call it good directing. This movie gives you a chance to grow attached to the characters, no matter how greedy they might be. And the ending, surpisingly, caught me off guard.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of, if not the best movie I've ever seen! 3 Mar 2003
By Adam Shoemake - Published on Amazon.com
One word. Three letters.
WOW!
This movie has it all. A great cast, an explosive story, and wonderful plot.
John Leguizamo is absolutely amazing. And David Caruso has never been better.
Now if it were only available on DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Action Heist 4 Aug 2009
By Anathaniel Wallace - Published on Amazon.com
The movie really got me going. It had action, suspense and drama all mixed into the same movie. The cast was explosive and had great chemistry together.

Never has the quote "There is no honor among thieves" been more appropriate! Read Leonard Maltin's 1999 or 2000 Movie Review to get the gist of this movie.

Unfortunately haters like Gary (See His One Star Review Then Forget You Read It) seem to mix up fantasy with reality. The movie did not advocate the death of police officers, it was just an unintended consequence of the thieves going from point A to point B. See the similar movie One False Move for a comparison. The scene was necessary for the plotline to continue. Never mind that the "crew" started killing each other as well, so there were no "winners" in the end.

Like Adam Shoemaker, I highly reccomend this flick. I too wish it would be released onto DVD. My suspicion is that cop lovers like Gary and the conservative suits fear a backlash from places (Deep South & Southwest) that can't seperate imagination from reality. What a shame to see censorship suppressing creativity.
