Ned (Robert De Niro) and Jim (Sean Penn) break out of prison rather haphazardly. They were forced to go along with another inmate, Bobby (James Russo), as he shot his way out of Blackridge Prison. Once out they were determined not to go back. If only they could cross the border into Canada they'd be home free. In the meantime they had to lay low and pretend to be priests to avoid detection.
"We're No Angels" is a fair-to-middling movie. There were a couple of laughs and a tad bit of suspense as Ned and Jim tried to elude their captors. De Niro was funnier than I expected while Penn rehashed the annoying Brooklyn accent he donned in "Casualties of War."
