Small time crooks are brought in for a line-up and thrown together in jail for a crime none of them committed. They are convinced by one of them to get revenge on the police which they pull off effortlessly. Later they attempt a much more difficult job involving a boat full of illegal guns, which ends badly for just about everyone. Confusing and overly convoluted story with a big twist ending which frankly makes little sense. There are no likeable characters, and with no one to root for no emotional involvement. Spacey's character is whiny and the least likeable of all.
