Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Carolyn McCarthy has a cameo during the sentencing scene of Colin Ferguson. She is seen right before the actor portraying Kevin McCarthy addresses Mr. Ferguson. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The 1996 Congressional election in which she ran against Dan Frisa was never considered to be a close one, like the movie suggests. All the polls had McCarthy up by a substantial margin and it was clear in October that she would win. She won 58% to Frisa's 40%. more

Long Island Vs Canada, 8 December 2006
Author: Impertinent from Boca Raton, Florida

I understand the frustration of seeing a film and a production company abandon the actual locale of the original incident.

But between the unions and the enormous hassles of shooting anywhere in New York...why wouldn't they take a friendlier, more accommodating and efficient route?

Some incredibly great films have been done in New York I'll admit... but you really have to see it from the eyes of the investors, producers and availability of ready and willing talent. And that the logistics of any film undertaking in New York has to be prohibitively expensive and frustrating.

I'd ask DeNiro, Pacino or Woody Allen what they think.
