The moment when I felt movie is getting interesting, Cage dies and finally a horrible ending.

Depressing, crazy, unpredictable movie that seems like an outline they gave these two great actors and told them "go entertain". The 90 minutes is not worth the ending -- I wish I had the time back. The movie was moving along OK until they actually do the deed then it all goes off the rails and they start doing things that are no characteristic -- got dumb. SKIP THIS

This was rated good by some people? They must be extremely deep and seminal, Im not. If I could give this piece of garbage a minus rating it would be -100.Its incoherent, disjointed, idiotic and nonsensical. Two jerky LV cops find a safe in a place where there shouldn't be any. After going thru drills and explosives their in. They find jewels etc and one gets a conscience,( why I don't know) and kills the other and puts the loot back. Then he gets killed dropping some dame(irrelevant to the story) off on a highway, by,(Im assuming)gangsters who stored the safe. Finally they show the evidence warehouse of the police with the drill they opened the safe with. The acting by Wood and Cage was crap, stupid and an attempt I guess by Cage to be "humorous". Its a mess.... don't rent, buy or see unless you want to waste an hour and a half on crap.

How the mighty have fallen heading for not very good direct to TV films. Nicolas Cage is Jim Stone and Elijah Wood is David Waters who both work in the evidence room of Las Vegas police department. Both are bored with Waters passive and Stone quirky.When Stone discovers a drug dealer has met his high bail receipt connected to a recent drug bust he reels in Waters to do some snooping around and end up with a plan to rob a vault.What starts as a crime caper involving crooked cops takes a dark turn as Stone turns sinister especially as they take a female hostage and Waters realise his partner in crime has gone a little bit cuckoo.The film has dark comic elements like an early Coen Brothers noir movie. It has an oddball performance from Cage and a more restraint one from Jerry Lewis who makes a brief appearance. The movie is lukewarm but at least is offbeat enough.
