Two master thieves go at odds with one another as one sets the other up for a crime. The first (Alec Baldwin), a suave pro who does his job and then hides in his own privacy, listening to old jazz records and caring for his ailing dog, Wally. The other is a local gangster with a taste for the finer life, who decides to eliminate the competition. This ignites a war between the two men and their aides.
This is quite a good film, and despite my growing up in the 90s, I never heard of it until today (August 2013). How did that happen? I am not saying it is the lost "Citizen Kane" or anything on that level, but it is a good criminal versus criminal sort of film, and we can never have too many of those.
The cast is also quite good, with Baldwin, Andre Baugher, Janeane Garofalo... people really ought to check it out.
