When they save a little girl, the sole survivor of a plane crash, their lives become forever changed. They take the orphan child into their home and prepare to raise her. However, a visit from DEA agent Dautrieve brings out the detective instincts in Robicheaux and he begins to ask about the rest of the passengers.

I think we can call this a "neo-noir", which is a modern movie
Noir. It has that atmosphere, especially in New Orleans, which seems
always shown the image on the dark side in films. After the devastation
took place there last year, perhaps kinder to the filmmakers
City in future films.

In any case, a sordid New Orleans, some good blues music and five
Varied and interesting lead characters all make this a very watchable film
. Alec Baldwin, Kelly Lynch, Teri Hatcher, Mary Stuart Masterston
Eric Roberts contributed with good performances, but all
Roberts is the "good guys" in this.

The film keeps your attention and has participated in most of the two
Hours. The action is well dispersed. My only complaint is a small one:
Baldwin with the Southern accent does not sound natural. Otherwise, a good
modern history of crime.
I remember going to great lengths to fit a matinee showing
PRISONERS OF HEAVEN in a busy Saturday afternoon during the 1996 theatrical
Liberation. Given the source material and talent behind and in front of the camera
, our small part of the filmgoing fans detective movie -
And Alec Baldwin groupies (aka my mother, my stepfather and I ) found
This modern black cinema to be a great disappointment. Baldwin who
also served as co-producer, said James Lee Burke's New Orleans

Burke fleshing out the characters and some have bitter tough-guy/gal
Dialogue, but it is hampered by two things: 1.) Film slo - oo-ow
Rhythm. Perhaps the heat of Louisiana came to everyone, not just Baldwin. From
All actors, a native of Long Island Baldwin sweats most, both
began to remind me of sweating bullets gags-with Albert Brooks in BROADCAST NEWS
and Robert Hays in AIRPLANE! 2.) A plot that
As provided in the film (if fault of the screenwriter or
editor, I can not be sure), never follows through on any of its
Elements. It is a pity, because these items may have made for an exciting
film: drug trafficking, smuggling of illegal aliens, rival crime
heads (one is played by Eric Roberts colorfully before he became

Character Director Phil Joanou's 1992), a
Adorable little Salvadoran orphan girl (called "Alafair" by the
Robichouxs, Dave after the mother. at the end of my pregnancy at the time, I liked
The name Alafair So, I almost changed my mind about the names of my

a full frontal nude scene that was much ballyhooed at the time, and Mary Stuart Masterson

Despite promises sexy in the movie ads, none of the ladies share
Baldwin, but nothing to the dialogue and some kisses and / or embraces.
Maybe because the weather was so hot, the filmmakers do not want to add more
Steaminess for fear of the poor Baldwin collapse from heat
Prostration! As my mom put it at the time: "I thought it was the height of my
