Shooters (2000 film)

After six long years behind bars, Gilly wants to settle down and live a quiet life. But it is not to be. Within hours of freedom, he discovers that his best friend and perennial partner in crime, "J", has invested all their cash in a huge array of submachine guns, dragging an apprehensive Gilly straight back into a lawless existence. As things intensify, J's pledge to his friend that this will be their last-ever job starts to feel more and more dubious.
