    Storyline

    Edit
    Three petty thieves who the police believe to be major criminals are chased into a basement bar where they take five hostages including all the bar employees. The rest of the movie deals with the cops lurking outside the bar while the trio try to get hold of the situation inside. —Danny Paikov <deepee@netvision.net.il>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Kevin Spacey consulted with legendary director Sidney Lumet on how best to make the film.
    • Goofs
      Because of the city's proximity to sea level, it is difficult, if not impossible to have underground (basement) dwellings in New Orleans.
    • Quotes

      Dova: Okay, plan. I'm listening...

      Guy Foucard: Tell them you will let go of the hostages one-by-one. Then, instead of releasing us, release yourself.

      Milo: [slow realization] Yeah. We, uh, pretend *we're* the hostages.

      Guy Foucard: And then... tie us up. And, uh... be gone before they come in.

      Dova: What do you think?

      Law: Hey, I'm a sociopath, you know what I think.

    Interesting and engrossing
    As everyone already knows, Kevin Spacey is an extremely good actor who never does a bad job acting. The man is also a great singer (check out the soundtrack to "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"), so it's not a surprise that he turns out to be multitalented; he's obviously a great director as well. This is the first movie he has ever made and it is such an engrossing and interesting movie. The acting is also superb, Matt Dillon doing such a great job was a surprise to me. The story itself is also interesting, and I liked the fact that this movie was in many ways theatrical. It doesn't work in every movie, but with this premise it worked out fine. Let's hope Spacey directs many more movies!
