Storyline
An ex-con, fresh out of prison, goes to L.A. to try to learn who murdered his daughter. However, he quickly finds that he is completely out of place with no understanding of the culture he finds. His investigations are helped by another ex-con. Together they learn that his daughter had been having an affair with a record producer, who is presently having an affair with another young woman. An aging actress, who also knew his daughter, forces him to look at his own failures as a father. The movie does focus on the drama of the situation and the inter-relationships of the characters and seldom slips into an action piece. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>

Trivia
Director Trademark: [Steven Soderbergh] rhyming cockney slang. See also Ocean's Eleven See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Wilson first meets Ed, he makes the comment "You wrote me about my daughter". To "write" someone is an American expression, and not one that would be used much by someone from England, especially not someone of Wilson's age. He would instead have said "You wrote -to- me about my daughter". See more »Quotes
