Two Arkansas firemen, Vince and Don, get hold of a map that leads to a cache of stolen gold in an abandoned factory in East St. Louis. What they don't know is that the factory is on the turf of a local gang, who come by to execute one of their enemies. Vince sees the shooting, the gang spots Vince, and extended mayhem ensues. As Vince and Don try to escape, gang leader King James argues with his subordinate Savon about how to get rid of the trespassers.

Would be an absolute stellar double feature with A Simple Plan, especially if you pretend the latter is a sequel to this. It’s sort of just “what if The Goonies was about and for adults” and the answer is that it’s a good movie this time.
