Like Trespass, it traps ordinary men in a hostile urban environment where a simple night out becomes a tightening, street-level survival thriller.
Why this pick
Its stripped-down tension, damaged everyman, and violent consequences echo Trespass’s grim, practical feel and escalating sense of being outmatched.
Why this pick
Another tightly constructed tale of regular men tempted by found wealth, with distrust and desperation steadily poisoning their partnership.
Why this pick
A discovered cache of money transforms friendship into suspicion and cruelty, delivered with the same escalating, morally ugly momentum.
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
Two Arkansas firemen, Vince (Bill Paxton) and Don (William Sadler (Actor)), meet an hysterical old man in a burning building. The old man hands them a map, prays for forgiveness, then allows himself to be engulfed in flames. Outside the fire and away from everyone else, Don does a little research and finds out that the man was a thief who stole a large amount of gold valuables from a church and hid them in a building in East St. Louis, Illinois. The two decide to drive there, thinking they can get there, get the gold, and get back in one day.
