Overview
While escaping from a foiled robbery attempt, three thieves find themselves surrounded by police at a New Orleans bar--only they're not the people the police are searching for.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedKevin Spacey's 1997 crime drama traps three thieves fleeing a botched robbery inside a New Orleans bar, surrounded by police who have actually come for someone else entirely. Built as a tense, contained chamber piece, it mines suspense from mistaken identity, desperation and the fraught dynamics among captors and hostages. Blending crime, drama and thriller, its tone is claustrophobic and morally uneasy, favoring dialogue and character pressure over action. It suits viewers who appreciate single-location standoffs and tightly wound ensemble tension. With a MagicMovieScore of 5.7, it offers a modest but atmospheric exercise in confined, high-stakes suspense.
