Trivia:
Joey Coyle did not live with his brother in real life. However, he fall through a ceiling when trying to hide the money. Other scenes with basis in reality include the policeman asking to be locked in the van to test its strength. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Bookie Vincent Goldoni says that the hundred dollar bill is his favorite, because it is the only United States bill that does not have a president's picture on it. The ten dollar bill features Alexander Hamilton. Also, the (now discontinued) $10,000 bill, issued in the 1920's, features Salmon P. Chase. Neither man was ever President of the United States. more

With the cast listed above how could you not watch? Not a great movie but very entertaining. It's easy to put yourself into the character of John Cusack. What would you do if you found 1.2 million dollars in the middle of the street? The film also does a good job of displaying the hardships of being on the run and doing and not doing the right thing. I mean towards the end I was stressed out and I was sitting in bed watching the movie. Decent flick, worth a watch for fans of any of the above talent. It's laways good to remember that movies have come along ways since the early 90's too. 6/10
