Tell me this isn't an awesome script idea:

Economic Depression

John Cusak, Alan Rickman and Nicholas Cage didn't mean to hurt any one. But when their high-stakes bank robbery went wrong, they killed 6 cops and 2 civilians. And then they (successfully) fled to Mexico with over a million dollars.

But shortly after reaching their promised land, with their promised rewards, John Cusak and Alan Rickman are plagued with moral quandry. They reach the decision to turn themselves in. How, though, will they clear this with Nicholas Cage? Well! When Nicholas catches wind of their plan, he attempts to put the group in lockdown. He knows what'll happen to him if the other two members of the Bloodbath Trio turn themselves in. Even the offer of keeping all the money to himself won't dissuade him.

So, most of the movie is spent in a ritzy Mexican resort, where John Cusak and Alan Rickman plumb the depths of guilt, and Nicholas Cage scores the heights of frustration. And in the end, they come up with a brilliant solution: fake the death of Nicholas Cage.

ENDING SEQUENCE: Alan Rickman switches the duds for real bullets. Nicholas Cage dies. There's a scene of the depressed John Cusak shocked at the savage behaviour of the depressed Alan Rickman.

John: I thought you were looking for redemption!
Alan: No. Just punishment.

Then there's a final shot where they're strolling out of the sunset, into the cop station, hands in the air.
