Heaven's Prisoners
A hardened New Orleans cop, Dave Robicheaux, finally tosses in the badge and settles into life on the bayou with his wife. But a bizarre plane crash draws him back into the fray when his family is viciously threatened.
Critics Sentiment
Dave rescues Alafair from the crashed plane in the bayou
Killers come to the house and murder Annie
The film's biggest drop occurs with Annie's murder, falling from the seductive Claudette sequence to the tragic turning point that drives Dave into darkness.
Heaven's Prisoners starts strongly with a praised opening rescue sequence but quickly becomes bogged down by pacing issues and convoluted plotting. The film peaks with Teri Hatcher's seductive performance but hits its lowest point with the tragic murder of Dave's wife, after which it struggles to maintain momentum despite some decent action sequences.
