Down by Law (1986)

An American crime film directed by Jim Jarmusch, starring Tom Waits and Roberto Benigni.
2 low level criminals are setup by their fellow hoods to be captured and are imprisoned. Another man accidentally kills a pursuer after leaving a card game gone wrong. The 3 of them escape from prison together.
This was absolutely the slowest jailbreak movie ever made. Most of the time, it was just the 3 main characters and no one else. They held my interest without anything else. The premise was pretty standard, but lead to a more complex plot. What I liked about the plot was showing multiple characters before prison. The video was all in black and white, but looked good. There was a scene that was said to be night in dialogue, but the video did not support this. I'm rating it good. This is a must have for Jarmusch fans.
