    • Trivia
      Gene Hackman mentioned in several interviews that he found shooting the film difficult and somewhat uncomfortable because he was so much older than everyone else involved. He therefore kept much to himself, and in the end managed to draw on that feeling of being an outsider in the group for his portrayal.
    • Goofs
      The New Zealand passport that Joe is handed, which he refers to as "good work", is the wrong color.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy: So, is he going to be cool?

      Pinky: My motherfucker is so cool, when he goes to bed, sheep count him.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening Warner Bros., Morgan Creek, and Franchise Pictures logos are in black and white.

    Middling Mamet

    Does exactly what it says on the tin, with perhaps a slight overload on the double-crosses and some surprisingly cringeworthy dialogue from such a practised ear:

    "Everybody needs money - that's why they call it money" spouts Danny DeVito. Uh? Am I missing something or is this utter nonsense? Maybe it looked good on the page, but it stinks when it's out in the open.

    Nowhere near as tight and entertaining as 'House Of Games' or 'The Spanish Prisoner', but then even an average Mamet thriller is worth a look.
