For an ex-cop obsessed with an unsolved murder, trusting the wrong woman could be a deadly choice.
Ex-detective Dave Robicheaux has made a new life for himself and his wife Annie running a bait shop in the outskirts of New Orleans. When they save a little girl, the sole survivor of a plane crash, their lives become forever changed. They take the orphan child into their home and prepare to raise her. However, a visit from DEA agent Dautrieve brings out the detective instincts in Robicheaux and he begins to ask about the rest of the passengers. This brings trouble to Robicheaux and he turns to drug lord Bubba Rocque, a childhood friend. But the friendship becomes estranged when an assault on the Robicheaux home leaves one victim…Annie.
“’Heaven’s Prisoners’, which is set in and around New Orleans, has an overabundance of the atmosphere. Disjointed and ponderously paced, ‘Heaven’s Prisoners’ knows how to set a scene.” – The New York Times
“Everyone works very hard in this movie, and it is possible to appreciate the simple craft and gusto that went into it. As Bubba, Eric Roberts is a splendid and complex villain. Alec Baldwin is cool, earnest and menacing as the hero.” – rogerebert.com
“Somber, stylish direction by Phil Joanou and a superior cast that includes Kelly Lynch and Mary Stuart Masterson.” – Entertainment Weekly
