We're No Angels
Two escaped cons' only prayer to escape is to pass themselves off as priests and pass by the police blockade at the border into the safety of Canada.
Critics Sentiment
Ned saves Molly's daughter from drowning at the waterfall
Ned and Jim escape from Black Ridge State Penitentiary with Bobby
The film recovers significantly from its violent midpoint disruption to deliver an emotionally moving waterfall rescue sequence that reviewers found genuinely affecting.
The film starts shakily with a harsh prison opening that puts off many viewers, then settles into a moderately amusing mistaken identity comedy anchored by solid performances from De Niro and Moore. Despite tonal disruptions from unexpected violence, the film builds to an emotionally satisfying finale involving miracles and character transformations that resonated positively with audiences.
