Trivia

At the beginning of the movie when John Cusack's character sees the maintenance man, the man is smoking a cigarette. Cusack tells him he should quit smoking. This pays tribute to the book, which was based around cigarette companies instead of gun makers. See more »

Quotes

Rankin Fitch: What do you hope to achieve if you win? You gonna bring Jacob Wood back to life? No. You just ensure that his wife goes to the cemetery in a better car, and that the heel that she snaps on the way to the graveside belongs to a $1,200 shoe. You get your name in the paper. But Jacob Wood and all the other gun violence victims remain rotting in their crypts.
