We're No Angels
Escaped convicts disguised as priests. It'll take a miracle to get away with this one.
Directed by Neil Jordan
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A lighthearted caper comedy about two escaped convicts masquerading as priests, balancing criminal scheming with warmth and humor.
Two escaped cons' only prayer to escape is to pass themselves off as priests and pass by the police blockade at the border into the safety of Canada.
