A late-career change of heart leads to a dangerous life on the run for two seasoned assassins whose complex relationship masks a dark past in director
Lee Daniels' pulpy
film noir. When
Mickey (
Cuba Gooding Jr.) was just a child, his abusive father savagely murdered the young boy's mother shortly before being gunned down by
Rose (
Helen Mirren),
Mickey's stepmother. Twenty years later,
Mickey and
Rose are not only working together as hired killers, but they have grown to become lovers as well. When
Rose discovers she is dying of terminal cancer and becomes addicted to morphine, her conscience soon prompts her to reevaluate her murderous ways. Assigned the task of taking out
Vickie (
Vanessa Ferlito), the wife of local crime boss
Clayton (
Stephen Dorff),
Mickey and
Rose are unable to complete their mission upon discovering that
Vickie is pregnant. With the tragedy of the past threatening to lock
Mickey,
Rose, and their reluctant charge into a tragic cycle of death and deceit, the reluctant killers attempt to make amends for their violent past by protecting
Vickie's unborn child and allowing
Rose one last chance at redemption.
