| Notes | A jewel store robbery goes sour when two of the robbers (a man and a woman) kill the others involved except for one who is caught and sent to prison. There he is stabbed by a fellow prisoner on the orders of the two robbers who got away. In hospital it is reported he has died but in fact he's given a new face and a chance to go straight. But he contacts the two robbers to join him in a wages snatch at the place where he works. In reality it's a means to get back at them. And in the end all of them are killed. A policeman, Morgan Freeman, always sceptical of his motives philosophies that his disfigured condition was always on the inside. Worth considering for promoting discussion.
