Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on James Lee Burke's bestseller, Heaven's Prisoners is a sweaty revenge thriller with a twist. On the Louisiana rivers, Dave Robicheaux (Alec Baldwin) is an ex-cop and ex-alcoholic with a boat business hiding him and his wife Annie (Kelly Lynch) away from the world. When a light airplane crashes into the water right in front of them, and Dave rescues the surviving little girl who happens to be an illegal immigrant, all the peace and quiet is dashed away. Embroiled in an underground criminal element, Dave is forced to face the demons of his past all over again. Along the way he reunites with Bubba Rock (Eric Roberts), a high school classmate who turned into the local heavy, his scheming wife Claudette (Teri Hatcher), and boozy strip dancer Robin (Mary Stuart Masterson). These three character cameos are enormous fun to watch, as are the oily New Orleans street locations. Even if the revelation of who's behind all the skulduggery isn't all that much of a shock, the movie still has plenty to say about the emotions of family loyalty that drive us.

On the DVD: The DVD release includes the trailer, a five-minute featurette, a brief look behind the scenes and interviews with cast and crew. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars New Orleans Thriller Classic, 29 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Imagine it, a thriller based in hot and sticky New Orleans, with a cop who has taken a back seat, but is forced back into the fray. Makes for a great book, and in this flick, a really good transfer.

The pace of the movie is just like good old Orleans, smooth yet punchy, and the characters are really woven together well.

I wont give away the plot, but its not difficult to figure out some of the ingredients, however, it has some excellent twists, and its all underpined by some first class acting.

Definitely one for a barbeque weekend in the back garden. Top class hidden beauty.
