Customer Reviews

Hard hitting, insight into the lives of 3 Detroit workers
The story is about three auto workers (Pryor, Keitel, Kotto) on the assembly line in the late '70s. Despite union jobs they never seem to be able to have enough to support their families and give them more than the barest necessities. When debts catch up to all three (IRS audit for Pryor, kids braces for Keitel, and partying too hard for Kotto) they are becoming desperate. Knowing full well their union is corrupt, they feel no remorse for attempting a robbery on the union offices to come up with enough cash to just make ends meet. All these three expect to get from the robbery is a couple thousand bucks each rather than the huge sums movies always use as a motivator today. But they get in way over their heads when they find more than they're looking for; though it is not money. Big business, big labour, betrayal and murder threaten to undo everything these men have worked for.
