Living & Dying

2007 · 90 min

A grimy, claustrophobic siege thriller that piles on nastiness and double-crosses, more exhausting than suspenseful.

Overview: Four desperate bank robbers are forced to abandon their lucrative heist plans and become the reluctant heroes when two of their hostages turn out to be psychotic killers who won't stop until everyone in the bank has been ruthlessly slaughtered. As the police surround the building and the killers begin methodically executing the hostages.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and bleak. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, crime, violence, betrayal
Content: Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
