Trivia The two hired killers seen alongside the Oscar character (played by Steven Bauer) are actually two real-life Puerto Rican policemen. They had been hired as technical advisors and when director Ricardo Mendez Matta asked them to be in the film they insisted on playing bad guys instead. When asked why, they said that working undercover required them to think and act like bad guys at all times, and that by now they felt more comfortable doing that. See more »
