Actor Kevin Spacey made his directorial debut with this thriller. Dova (Matt Dillon), Milo (Gary Sinise), and Law (William Fichtner) are three small-time crooks on the run after a botched robbery of a New Orleans warehouse led to a car chase, causing the death of two cops. Needing a place to hide, with Milo seriously injured, they sneak into Dino's Last Chance Bar, a shot-and-a-beer joint located on a side street in a basement. Before long, the bar is surrounded by a squadron of Federal agents and SWAT officers. The three robbers are convinced that the cops are trying to flush them out, but it turns out that they aren't the only crooks in search of a cold beer at Dino's. Smart-suited Guy (Viggo Mortensen) is actually an international dealer in illegal arms that the cops were trailing when they stumbled across the robbery gone wrong. As police negotiator Browning (Joe Mantegna) tries to get the bad guys to come out peacefully, the bar's patrons -- pool shooting Danny (Skeet Ulrich), aging beauty Janet (Faye Dunaway), and boozehound Jack (John Spencer) -- beg for mercy as Dova hatches a scheme that involves killing Guy and all the patrons. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The tone and pace of this movie are very grueling. I rented it for Spacey's directing and Viggo Mortensen's acting. Both were just OK. Rent if you dare.... to stay awake through all 2 hours.

    2 hours of my life wasted hoping it would get better. Dragged, slowly to a lousy ending. Should have used fast forward to get to the last 10 minutes. Plot was easy to guess and ending was the only thing I held out for, and it didn't fail to disappoint. Don't waste your time on this dog.

    Don't waste your time, electricity or thought process with this film. A lot of hoopla about nothing. Great cast, bad script, fair acting. You can start on chapter one then go to the last chapter - it is that bad. Only positive side is Faye Dunaway - looks great. Viggo has a ridiculous role, Matt Dillon does forced acting, ..I've wasted more time by writing this review. Enough.
